PHILOSOPHY
| Why people enjoy doing business with us. |
| |
| Of foremost importance to our customers, whether they are designers, engineers, architects or city planners, is our commitment to the overall success of their projects.
The company has earned the tagline "From Specs to Spectacular" through a history of diligent work on landscaping projects of all scales. We commonly hear "you stick with it", "throughout the project, my rep overcame every obstacle, whether it was within his domain or not", "your knowledge and support materials were invaluable to me", "thank you for your copyright protection for our new design" and "the president picked up the phone to help me". |
| This level of commitment to quality permeates every aspect of our business. Although modern in our business practices and use of technology, we firmly believe that people want the level of personal service and value first established by Marvin Wittlin in the original New York City location, fifty years ago. We are loyal to longstanding employees, for whom this company has become an extended family. |
| |
| Our network of representatives across the U.S. has been carefully selected for each person’s strong knowledge base as well as for a "Sentry attitude". We all appreciate the imagination of the talented clients who trust us to collaborate on their exciting and often creative projects. Finally, should problems arise, we feel that the expression "standing behind our product" and becoming your most reliable design, production and installation team are not just expressions; they are expressive of our belief system. |
| |
| "Our knowledgeable service team is ready to work with you at the planning stage to create a unique lighting design. Call me directly at 516.379.4660 x101 to find out how Sentry can enhance your next high profile project, too" – Shepard Kay, President SENTRY ELECTRIC |
ABOUT OUR DESIGNS
| Who specifies our product and why? |
| |
| Award-winning. Architecturally significant. High performance. Durable materials and construction. Vandal resistant. Specification grade. Built to highest standards for safety and energy efficiency. |
| Yet decision makers at important national landmarks, celebrated public spaces, college campuses and urban renewal projects, restorations, housing estate plans and corporate parks are also interested in the elegance of our unique and standard, classic to contemporary designs and our ability to produce their custom designs. From Ellis Island to the streets of Beverly Hills, from a restored downtown Memphis and St. Louis district to Yale University, Sentry luminaires grace these settings while delivering maximum performance for decades. |
| |
| A history of innovation and unique design. |
| |
| Sentry came to national prominence in the 1970’s when it was selected as the sole manufacturer of a unique luminaire to be installed throughout Manhattan’s Central Park. That fixture, known as the Central Park Luminaire, was winner of a design competition conducted by the Central Park Conservancy and has been marketed exclusively by Sentry since that time. |
| |
| Are you interested in custom product or original design? |
| |
| We work with architects and artists (whom we protect with pro-active copyright enforcement) to create original designs, taking them from concept and production to delivery, or to customize our standard catalog products. To ensure a unified look, we manufacture a comprehensive line of poles and bollards (in aluminums, cast iron, ductile iron and steel) to coordinate with our line of luminaires. |
