Midstream Lighting to acquire Hyperion Grow Lights

The acquisition underlines Midstream's commitment to leveraging the latest technology, design approaches and manufacturing techniques to enable growers to significantly reduce cultivation time, maximise crop yields and implement new energy efficient, sustainable operations.

Under the terms of the deal, Midstream will retain the Hyperion brand as its horticulture sector offering, and integrate the business into Midstream's engineering development, UK & European manufacturing, customer support, and project delivery operations.

As part of its commitment to innovation, Midstream will also invest in a new 20,000-piece per year production line as a first phase to support the new Hyperion Pro series launching today at Greentech 2022 Amsterdam.

This significant increase in manufacturing capability, Midstream's award-winning technology leadership, and its experience delivering complex projects in over 60 countries assures at-scale delivery of transformation lighting projects for horticultural clients worldwide. 

The acquisition is expected to complete in July 2022.

Midstream Co-Founder and Commercial Director, Yuli Grig, says:

"Hyperion is a true pioneer in the world of high-intensity greenhouse lighting. The undoubted synergies between the two businesses, our joint focus on innovation, customer-first design and, of course, Midstream's global scale and financial stability, further strengthen our proposition in this expanding market. The demand of our customers in the Aviation, Maritime and Sport sectors has been for high-performance, reliability and robustness and we have engineered our solutions to meet those challenges in the most complex environments around the world. We look forward to applying our knowledge and experience to deliver the best-in-class solution for horticulture.  We are very excited to welcome Hyperion's staff and customers, and we look forward to hugely exciting times ahead for the brand."

Hyperion Managing Director, Jonathan Barton, says:

"Joining forces with Midstream is great news for our business and our customers. Midstream's established strength in LED solution design and its multi-sector global project experience builds on our own specialist horticulture expertise. Together, we are perfectly positioned to deliver the advanced lighting solutions our growers need to drive efficiency and productivity in the greenhouse."
