Fromm is honored to receive the Lehigh Valley Community Partner Award in recognition of our involvement in the Restaurant Relief Fund grant from the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce. This initiative, spearheaded by the Chamber, assisted 109 businesses during the pandemic shutdown and associated restrictions on local restaurants.

Habitat for Humanity of Berks County has honored Fromm with its annual Distinguished Partner Award. Presented each year during the non-profit's Birdhouse Challenge fundraiser, it is awarded to individuals or corporations who partner with Habitat for Humanity in a significant way. CEO Michael Fromm accepted the award.

Fromm has shed light on some of Allentown’s long-standing sculptures. In collaboration with the Allentown Arts Commission and the Department of Parks and Recreation, Fromm provided lighting fixtures and design work for the “Archommage” sculpture on Ott and Hamilton streets and the “Balancing Log” sculpture at 15th Street and Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive.

Fromm President John Hanna spoke at the Spring Network Meeting of Affiliated Distributors (AD) Electrical Division held April 26-28 in Orlando, Fla. Hanna, who serves as AD Electrical-U.S. divisional board chair, addressed the group in the U.S. member business meeting and communicated a streamlined process and plan to enhance the division's governance structure to be more nimble and collaborative and put the power of AD to work on behalf of its members.

As energy costs increase across the globe, local energy providers are raising their rates for electricity. Installing long-lasting, energy-efficient, LED lighting at your facility is a great way to conserve energy and save money. Fromm provides efficient products and services like an energy-efficiency audit, investment payback analysis, and utility rebates. Think of us as your energy-efficiency one-stop-shop.

The positive impact good lighting can have on a facility's environment and people's moods cannot be overstated. In fact, a recent article published inLightED Magazine stresses just how important optimal lighting levels can be in the healthcare industry. The article refers to a U.K. study which claims patients who were in newly-refurbished hospital facilities were released on average a day-and-a-half earlier than those who were in older, poorly-lit buildings.

Lou Fromm and Fromm Electric have been awarded the "Corporate Loyalty Award" by the International Facility Managers Association Lehigh Valley Chapter for outstanding support of the IFMA chapter and its membership. Through the COVID19 shutdown, Fromm helped the Chapter shift from live events to virtual educational programs.

As supply chain shortages continue across the country, Fromm is striving to make it as easy and convenient as possible to get the products you need. We like to think of ourselves as our customers’ first line of defense against shortages. Fromm offers daily delivery to jobsites, contractor warehouses, commercial facilities and manufacturers across the tri-state area. If you would rather pick up your materials, we have eight conveniently located branch locations in eastern Pennsylvania. Or you can have items shipped directly to you through our online store.

Global supply chain issues don’t appear to be going away anytime soon. In the meantime, Fromm has solutions for its customers. Our purchasing team has adjusted order frequency to expand inventory levels on commodities and other critical items and is in daily contact with all our major suppliers. As a result, we can provide regular tracking updates on open order shipping schedules.

“We don’t have that in stock.” Have you been hearing that a lot lately? At Fromm, we are doing everything we can to make sure you don’t hear that from us. Current supply chain issues have been difficult on the construction and manufacturing industries, but we are working to help mitigate the impact. We have increased inventory levels across the board by more than 20 percent and have adjusted our system’s lead times to reflect supplier production delays. We have beefed up our customer service staff to enhance expediting efforts on critical parts.  Our teams continuously check for substitute products that are in stock and present those options to customers.

It’s impossible to read or watch the news these days without seeing images of thousands of cargo containers stuck on freighters off the California coast. To some people this means less access to everyday consumer products. But for our customers, it may present serious challenges in sourcing the equipment and materials that are vital to their businesses. We understand the frustrations our customers are experiencing and are dedicated to doing everything in our power to mitigate the effects of the current supply chain issues.

What is Energy Efficiency Month? It's about being good stewards of our company resources, as well as the planet's. It's about being intentional as well as being wise. It's about finding innovative energy solutions and technologies for our customers.
