For projects requiring American-made or Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) compliant architectural lighting, Alva offers a broad portfolio of interior and exterior wall sconces manufactured in Southern California. With options designed for healthcare, education, multifamily and commercial applications, the collection combines domestic manufacturing with customization, durability and reliable lead times.
As our product line expanded, managing inventory became a challenge. Like many companies relying on offshore manufacturing, we faced ongoing challenges with rush order delays from Asia, making timely delivery a struggle. To better serve our customers, we need to offer a diverse range of resin choices, finishes, and shapes—at competitive prices and with fast, reliable delivery.
Manufacturing offshore simply wouldn’t allow for the level of customization our customers expect. As soon as customization comes into play, production needs to happen here at home.
We stock all our products as raw material, pulling resin (shade material) and shaping it to order. Our aluminum is painted with precision to match each customer’s specifications, and we expertly assemble all finished components expeditiously.
This manufacturing philosophy allows us to deliver exceptional quality, competitive pricing, and reliable lead times—all while keeping production local.
As a provision of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, this initiative strengthens domestic manufacturing by requiring federally funded infrastructure projects to use materials that are produced in the United States. The Act is designed to boost the economy, create jobs, and promote sustainable practices through domestic sourcing of manufactured products and construction materials.
