How to build a lighting empire, with Hudson Valley Lighting Group founder David Littman

David Littman got into the lighting industry as a young man, acquiring a small, struggling manufacturing business. Across the span of four decades, he’s built an empire. Hudson Valley’s portfolio now includes its namesake brand plus CSL, Troy Lighting, Corbett, Mitzi, and, more recently, Sonneman and Schoolhouse. On this episode of the podcast Littman tells host Dennis Scully about why the lighting business is leaving China, why the only weapon against dupes is new product, and why he’s looking beyond lighting at the whole home.
