QSR International partners with LED lighting provider

November 21, 2013

ForceField Energy Inc., a distributor of energy products, has entered into an agreement with QSR International, master franchisor of 145 restaurants in 15 countries throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

The agreement calls for the purchase and installation of ForceField's LED lighting products at two QSR restaurants, with the potential for a rollout of ForceField's lighting solutions across the remaining QSR International owned, operated and under-development restaurants. The installation is expected to be completed before the end of December 2013. QSR's franchise portfolio includes KFC, Quiznos, Smashburger and more.

"The overall value of using LED lighting solutions is clear and simple for QSR International. It provides a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution that improves our operating performance while also enhancing the customer and worker experience," said Richard Eisenberg, president of QSR International. "ForceField offers QSR the quality, speed, and service that are perfectly aligned with our operating philosophy as a high-growth, quick-service restaurant developer, owner and operator."

The LED lighting installation is expected to save between 50 to 85 percent in annual energy costs, according to David Natan, ForceField Energy's CEO.
