Midstream Lighting announces completion of acquisition of horticultural lighting company Hyperion Grow Lights
Recently, one of the core manufacturers of flood lamps globally, Midstream Lighting, announced the completion of its acquisition of the horticultural lighting company Hyperion Grow Lights. Midstream will retain the Hyperion brand for its horticultural products and continue to be led by former Hyperion Managing Director Jonathan Barton.
This acquisition further confirms Midstream's desire to expand its reach in the global LED lighting technology sector—gaining stronger international influence in the aviation, marine, sports, and horticulture markets.
Jonathan established the Plessey Semiconductors Grow Light business unit in 2016 and led its spin-off into Hyperion Grow Lights in 2020. Now as Horticulture Director at Midstream, Jonathan will drive brand integration—leveraging Midstream's global reach and cutting-edge Solution to provide Hyperion with more specialized horticultural expertise.
Midstream plans to make continuous investments in its horticulture business to support new and existing customers. This includes the previously reported production line of 20,000 units per year to deliver the innovative Hyperion Pro and Pro Max horticultural grow light series. Designed by the R&D center located at Midstream in Milan, this new series combines advanced Lens technology with the latest high-efficiency LED and Hyperion air cooling systems, significantly improving greenhouse productivity.
Jonathan Barton, Midstream's Horticulture Director, commented on this announcement: "Currently, international food security faces immense challenges. Growers are facing a storm of rising demand, supply chain disruptions, and soaring energy prices. Hyperion grow lights play a crucial role in addressing these issues: optimizing crop yields, enabling year-round cultivation, while solving 50% of the energy problem. We will provide strong support to growers worldwide."
Yuli Grig, co-founder and Commercial Director of Midstream, stated: "The acquisition of Hyperion is of great importance and cannot be underestimated; it reflects Midstream's rapid growth. The high-efficiency greenhouse industry is developing, and new energy-saving lighting technologies, including vertical farming models, offer excellent opportunities. Midstream will drive these developments toward a broader global user base."
