The company was first started as "The Philadelphia Electrical Manufacturing Company" - "PEMCO" - in 1882 and for over 100 years was a diverse manufacturer of a broad range of lighting fixtures and poles, for both indoor and outdoor use.In 1993, the assets were sold and a new corporation was formed with its headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware. For the past 16 years, products have been redesigned and upgraded to meet today's standards in efficiency, design integrity, and quality. Also, during this same period, many products that were popular in the 1920's, 30's, and 40's have been reintroduced with modern lighting sources, superior finishes and UL/ETL/CSA listings. Old iron castings are now replaced with aluminum, new optical systems have replaced inefficient ones, and we now offer contemporary, traditional, and vintage products.With the re-introduction of many traditional and vintage products containing authentic design, Pemco offers one of the largest selections available from one manufacturer. As in the past, Pemco Lighting Products is committed to providing architects and engineers with specific design solutions for special or custom projects.
