BJ Take Rebrands as BJ Take Lighting

November 8, 2024

BJ Take is an acronym chosen by the company’s founders, so they would not lose focus of why they were starting their company.

The name stands for the Buma familt name and Ed and MaryAnn Buma’s five children.

Now in its second-generation of family ownership, BJ Take has rebranded to BJ Take Lighting and seeks to provide market leading, locally made product and value-added services that are only possible from a localized manufacturer supply chain.
