OMEGA SATTER ACQUIRES NOVATRON OF DALLAS
OmegaSatter of Hampstead, Maryland announced that effective June 1, 2008 it had acquired the assets of Novatron Electronics Corporation of Dallas, Texas, manufacturer of Novatron brand professional photographic lighting equipment.
Said Cindy Wesolowski, President of OmegaSatter, “Novatron has perfect synergy with OmegaSatter. We are a manufacturer and we market and sell our products to the same customers as Novatron. OmegaSatter has coveted a strong, high quality brand and presence in the professional photographic lighting market and Novatron is the perfect fit.” OmegaSatter is in the professional photographic lighting accessory segment with its GaryFong Inc., FlashFrame, Wein, and Polaris products. Said Wesolowski “Novatron compliments our other lighting products and provides us with a strong base”. Novatron products have been proudly manufactured in the USA for over 30 years. OmegaSatter will continue this legacy by manufacturing Novatron products in its 35,000 square foot faciility in Maryland where among other things, Omega brand Enlargers, FlashFrame Professional Flash Brackets, and Berg Color Toning Systems are made.
Novatron features a broad range of photographic lighting products including constant light, power pack, and monolight styles, all of which are digital camera ready. Novatron was one of the first lighting manufacturers to offer complete kits together with cases for portability.
While a brief transition period is expected, Novatron products are available to order from OmegaSatter immediately. The company expects to be in full production in July.
OmegaSatter, whose combined companies have supplied the photographic industry for over (70) years, manufactures and/or distributes over a thousand different photo/imaging products for more than a dozen branded lines. For more information, call 410-374-3250 or visit www.omegasatter.com.

I sent a flash power unit to Novatron a few months ago to be repaired. Spent 65$ on S & H, and followed the directions that the Novatron Employee told me. Somewhere in transit, Omega Satter bought Novatron, and fired all the employees. My power unit bounces around UPS for a month and is finally returned to me. I call the Novatron number and get some smart-ass Omega Satter Customer Service Employee that basically tells me its my fault that the package isn’t picked up because I waited three weeks (like I should know they were going to go out of business), and won’t reimburse me for shipping, and won’t repair my unit.
Stand clear…. real real real clear of this company and their products. They don’t stand behind them.
