The City of Canton Michigan approached us with a unique problem. The factory that had been making their standard lamp posts in the past had decided to close their doors and would no longer be able to provide the City with product. We were sent specifications and after careful review delivered a quotation to the City of Canton to duplicate their existing poles and custom glass luminaire. Our bid included the cost to duplicate their large ornate cast aluminum base, tube and rod bending equipment and dies for their custom arm, an extrusion die for the luminaires' housing, and finally tooling to produce the custom glass canopy dome. Our numbers were accepted and the City enthusiastically signed a contract to begin production. All the necessary items needed to build our first prototype took approximately 6 weeks to assemble and build tooling for with the glass tooling taking the longest. Photometric studies were performed and the prototype enthusiastically received and accepted by the City of Canton. The Niland Company has been providing these assemblies ever since and it continues to be another Niland success story.
