A Brief History of Our Company
Founded in 1927, Yusen Associates grew through acquisitions, partnerships, and a strong focus on lighting, expanding to 150 employees across three divisions (Yusen, Illuminate, and Strateres). A.A. MacPherson Co., founded in 1940, built a trusted reputation across New England and Upstate New York.
In 2025, the two agencies merged to form the Yusen MacPherson Group, uniting nearly two centuries of expertise. Together, we deliver stronger service, technical support, and expanded product offerings for our manufacturers, distributors, and utility partners across the region.
