Hauser Industries

CASE STUDY

A Manufacturing Lighting Upgrade Built on Visibility, Cleanability, and Long-Term Value .

Client Overview

Hauser Industries (Hauser Site Furniture) is a long-established manufacturing business operating in a demanding metal-shop environment. When the company evaluated a facility-wide lighting upgrade, the priorities were clear: reduce energy use, improve visibility on the plant floor, and invest in a solution that would hold up in a dusty, high-activity production space. Think Green Solutions delivered a turnkey LED program that made an immediate, noticeable difference for operations, quality control, employees, and customer tours.

The Challenge

Hauser needed better lighting performance across production areas to support daily work and inspection. As a metal shop with grinding and welding, maintaining consistent light quality and keeping fixtures clean over time was a constant challenge.

THE SOLUTION

Think Green Solutions developed a new lighting program for the facility and managed execution end-to-end, including rebate administration. As the retrofit rolled out section by section, leadership saw the impact immediately and expanded the scope, choosing to replace even recently installed LED fixtures to standardize on the Think Green system.

A key differentiator was fixture design: Hauser selected fully enclosed, encapsulated fixtures that are better suited to dusty manufacturing environments and easier to keep clean over time.

A “night and day” difference on the plant floor

Hauser described the first completed section as “literally a difference between night and day,” with dramatically improved visibility for workers and a clear benefit to quality control.

Better working conditions and stronger facility pride

The upgraded lighting made the shop a more enjoyable place to work and improved the overall feel of a building that has been operating for decades. Employees noticed the difference, and leadership noted the improvement in day-to-day experience and pride in the workspace.

Improved customer tours and product presentation

With brighter, more consistent light, Hauser can better showcase handcrafted production during walkthroughs, helping customers see workmanship and process more clearly.

Rebate support that made the project easier to justify

Think Green Solutions secured an instant rebate of $48,000 and handled the process from start to finish, so Hauser did not have to manage applications or paperwork internally.

Conclusion

Think Green Solutions delivered a lighting upgrade that improved visibility, efficiency, and long-term performance across Hauser’s facility while simplifying the entire process through turnkey execution and rebate management. The result is a brighter, cleaner, and more productive manufacturing environment that supports daily operations, enhances quality control, and helps showcase the craftsmanship behind Hauser Industries’ work.
