For more than 50 years, Atlantic Valve & Supply Co. has been distributing valves and fittings for the shipbuilding industry, serving a client list that includes the U.S. Coast Guard and Navy. The family-run business, which operates out of a 10,000-square foot warehouse in Baltimore’s Brooklyn neighborhood, completed a second round of lighting upgrades through BGE’s Small Business Energy Solutions program.

Upton heard about new incentives for upgrading to LEDs, he was immediately interested in another opportunity to enhance the business while saving energy and money.
