TLS Productions Inc. Announces Ownership Change and Expansion Plans

TLS Productions Inc, a leading provider of production lighting services and products, is pleased to announce its management-led buyout which became effective December 21, 2012.  Members of top management, led by former minority shareholders Brad Hayes and Bill Ross, purchased the interest held by Mr. Dan Willoughby, who until the ownership change had been President and CEO.  Mr. Hayes and Mr. Ross now share executive responsibilities for TLS Productions Inc.  The company will continue to operate from its headquarters in Brighton, Michigan – with plans to move their headquarters to a larger warehouse and office space in Ann Arbor, Michigan, late summer / early fall 2013, and will continue to coordinate marketing through its four regional sales offices.

“We are taking the reins of TLS Productions to pursue two goals” states Brad Hayes.  “First, we will rededicate our efforts to provide the best possible services and products to our existing customers.  Second, we will actively expand our business into new markets and new venues.”  The firm’s management and operations team has been successfully retained by the owners.  “Our existing customers see the same people on the event floor and talk to the same managers at our headquarters” adds Bill Ross.  “They feel a sense of continuity and so, are supporting us as we grow.”

TLS Productions Inc. has produced special events, illuminated permanent interior displays and dealt in commercial lighting products since 1954.  The firm has built its presence at major auto and trade shows and has permanent display installations at museums, universities and public spaces throughout the Midwest.
