Luminance was a portfolio company of ShoreView Industries, a private equity sponsor with $900 million under management. Since it was formed in 2001, Resilience has invested in 49 companies across 26 platforms. Luminance’s senior management team, led by Chief Executive Officer Eric Allen will continue to execute its strategic plan, which includes growing share in existing markets, expanding into new markets and pursuing select complementary acquisitions.
