"FSG is honored to have the opportunity to work with CESA Purchasing. We believe in providing transparency, top notch service, and competitive pricing. Being a nationwide distributor with 40 years of experience allows us to build relationships with manufacturers of all levels to offer the best solutions to our customers. When Meghan reached out for a lighting quote, I was eager to provide her with the option requested along with an alternative option that would be more readily available and provide customizable options to the end customer. Being part of AEPA, and leveraging the buying power of all AEPA members across the country makes the CESA value proposition hard to beat!’’ - Alyssa Mika, Lighting Estimator; FSG Lighting

They secured quotes in our procurement process, all that met or exceeded our specifications. Their industry connections also provided helpful insight for the project. They saved valuable time for our business office, secured a cost-effective product, and ensured timely delivery prior to the installation phase of the project.
