Our Story...

Light Fabrications was begun by Jim Cucinelli as a sole proprietorship in 1977, to meet a demand for an inexpensive assembly source specializing in electrical harness work, packaging/rework and warehouse services. We became a New York State corporation in 1980.

The firm grew steadily, primarily doing business in western New York, but also making electrostatic shields and shielding products for power supply manufacturers and telecommunications OEMs around the U.S. We developed some unique skills in soldering and welding, and working with thin gauge copper and alloy foils.

In the early 80's, the firm branched into adhesive tape converting capabilities using equipment that die cut, slit, laminated, and formed materials. Many requirements developed for cutting pressure sensitive adhesive from master log rolls and other raw materials such as plastic films, foam, papers, rubber, and other specialty materials.

1987 was a highlight year, marked with a new quest for "Total Quality" and a new facility in suburban Rochester. We quickly added space in the fall of 1988, and then moved to another new facility in 1990, our present location. In 1993, a second manufacturing facility was built to accommodate contract manufacturing and warehousing services for customers with special needs.

In 1995, we embarked on a new marketing program, a deep commitment to providing an alternative for a better idea, and a continuous involvement with our customers and employees. In 1996, we implemented quality programs such as ISO 9002 and QS 9000 in 1999 to accommodate our automotive business.

In 2006, we committed to Green Initiatives such as ISO 14001 Certification, RoHS Compliance & IS0 13485 Compliance. We will continue to expand our products and services to meet global and domestic customer demand. We strive to be the best we can in unique niche markets, targeted to the electronics, automotive, medical industry, and others.
