Minka-Aire and Minka Lavery Combine with Elegance

The Minka Group was founded in 1982 by Bill and Marian Tang.  Then a tiny company that made glass shades for ceiling fans and lighting fixtures, it has grown into a lighting industry giant which includes the brand names Minka-Aire, Minka Lavery, Ambiance, The Great Outdoors, Metropolitan, and George Kovacs as well as many nationally recognized private label brands. 

Minka products are sold in over 2,000 showrooms nationwide.  Products are made from a variety of high quality materials such as wrought iron, wood, resin, cast aluminum, and solid brass.  Minka products are distributed from service centers on both the East and the West coasts.  This spread of distribution centers helps the Minka Group lower costs and keep delivery times low as well.

The Minka Group produces every kind of indoor and outdoor lighting for residential homes from simple fixtures that cost only $19, to elaborate chandeliers that are fit for a mansion’s foyer that cost $10,000.  The vast collection of lighting and ceiling fans that are offered by the Minka Group represent the most diverse and cutting edge styles.

President of the Minka Group, Kurt Schulzman, attributes the success of the company to its continued entrepreneurial abilities. 

He says “I have the freedom to make decisions quick enough to keep pace with fast-changing trends in home décor.” 

It is the freedom to change rapidly with the changing trends that make Minka Group the leader in the lighting industry.
