by Brianna Crandall — June 16, 2014—Group Dekko, manufacturer of a broad variety of products for the office furniture and architectural lighting industries, as well as transportation, industrial, appliance and medical markets, introduced its new “Powered by Pent” collection at the NeoCon contract furnishings show last week in Chicago.
Powered by Pent is a collection of power and communication solutions engineered to deliver power and communication where it is needed the most.

All products are available in monochromatic finishes, in industry standard and custom colors, based on design requirements.
The new releases include: Ashley Duo, Ashley Trio+, Ashley Duo Under, Ashley Trio+ Under, Ashley Duo Bezel, Hudson Hood, Afton Duo+, Ashley Trio+ Bezel, Brimfield, Pop-Up Power Tap, and USB Charging Module.
In addition, Group Dekko had new task light options on display: On-Task Detach, On-Task B, On-Task Touch, US-Task LED Premium 12, and US-Task LED Basic 20.
Prior to the show, Group Dekko CEO John May stated, “Because we have received customer feedback that our prototypes have ‘hit the nail on the head’ with our designs, features, functions and benefits, we are accelerating our timelines to meet current demand. We are looking forward to exhibiting them at NeoCon ’14.”
