DVN: Tell us about Sea Link International.
Scott McFarland: In 1993, Sea Link entered the automotive lighting industry, teaming with a Tier I supplier with small custom fasteners. Almost 20 years later, we have grown to manufacturing complete lamps and more than 150 subcomponents for our main global Tier 1 customers in 20 countries. Sea Link is both a solution-provider and product supplier. Our ability to design a wide range of products, from subcomponents to complete halogen, projector, and LED fog lamps as well as headlamp projectors, allows our customers to save critical engineering manpower & manufacturing space and direct research and design dollars to development of new technologies.
DVN: Could you present the range of your products? Services?
