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:
“As I am, so shall I associate, and so shall I act; Caesar’s history will paint out Caesar.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
