Bill Groener, COO of Altman Lighting had this to say about the hiring of Linderman: "I am very pleased that Wayne has joined the Altman Lighting team. He and I have previously worked together and I know that specifiers, designers, reps, dealers and end-users will all appreciate his extremely high level of customer service and support gained through many years of entertainment industry experience."

Linderman is equally pleased with his move to Altman Lighting. "I am proud to join Mr. Groener and the entire team on this adventure to reintroduce Altman as one of the top names in theatrical lighting to our loyal customers and the industry as a whole. Yes, the pandemic and subsequent years have presented us with challenges, but we've pushed through that and are now on the precipice of emerging from it. The nostalgic part of me looks back on Altman with the fondness of an eager novice focusing their first 6X9. The pragmatic me looks forward to Altman's reinvigorated future as we introduce new generations to brighter, bolder lighting fixtures for decades to come."
