History
CCA Global Partners is a privately held company established in 1984 as Carpet Co-op of America. This cooperative was created to help independently owned carpet retailers achieve better buying power. Over the years, CCA Global has capitalized on its management and marketing expertise to expand successfully into other diverse industries, including mortgage banking, lighting products, and biking.
In 2001, CCA Global acquired the Ilucio buying group and brands and formed Lighting One, whose members provide products and services to lighting retailers. Lighting One builds on the strength of CCA Global in the home furnishings industry, and introduces CCA’s winning strategies to independent lighting retailers.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of a soldier’s wound beguiles the pain of it.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
