History[edit]

In 2009, after four years of living in China, Cole Zucker returned to the U.S. At the time, LED was just entering the U.S. market as a viable replacement technology. He then co-founded the company with Guillaume Vidal in 2010 and launched commercial operations in 2011.[4][5][3]

The company developed and patented various technologies and utilized a strong integrated R&D. The development was cited by the Illuminating Engineering Society Progress Report, the LEDs Magazine Sapphire Awards, Edison Report and NAILD among others.[6][7][1]

In 2013, Green Creative was ranked #213 on the Inc 5000 fastest growing private companies, generating $39.6 million, a 1,824.5% growth over 3 years.[8]

In October 2017, Green Creative was acquired by Harbor Group for an undisclosed sum.[9]
