Theo Shpunder Relaunches Agency

Lighting industry veteran Theo Shpunder – who has a combined 30+ years of experience on the showroom side, running a lighting agency, and directing a sales team for a manufacturer – has relaunched Carolina Lighting Sales.

Shpunder moved to North Carolina 10 years ago from New Jersey, where he owned the Premier Lighting & Design showroom in Garwood for 20 years. He established the agency Carolina Lighting Sales “with a simple belief: strong relationships and exceptional service are the foundation of long-term success. That belief remains as true today as it was then,” he said. Most recently, Shpunder was senior director of sales for lighting manufacturer Innovations Lighting.

“As I begin this new chapter, I’m excited to focus once again on what I enjoy most: building relationships, delivering great service, and helping customers find the right solutions through a hands-on, hospitality-driven approach,” Shpunder stated.

Carolina Lighting Sales’ line card includes Innovations Lighting, Thesis Lighting, CWI Lighting, and Toltec Lighting.

“At the heart of my business is a commitment to service and hospitality. I believe in being accessible, responsive, and genuinely invested in my customers’ success,” Shpunder told Lighting News Now. “My goal is simple: to make doing business easy while helping customers find the right lighting solutions and building lasting relationships along the way.”
