Background
Chedraui is one of the top supermarket chains in México, with additional stores in the United States, employing over 35,000 people. They operate over 217 locations, 150 of which are over 7,000 square meters.

“It is reassuring to know that Bridgelux’s LEDs are of the highest quality. The company supports testing to prove our product meets rigorous requirements such as heat dissipation, light distribution, and highest efficiency.”
