General Electric Co. Wednesday said it agreed to sell its lighting business to privately held Savant Systems Inc. for an undisclosed amount.

The Boston conglomerate said the sale is another step in its transformation into a more focused industrial company.

GE said the lighting business will remain headquartered in Cleveland, with its more than 700 employees transferring to Savant upon completion of the transaction, expected in mid-2020.

GE added that Savant will continue to use the GE brand under a long-term licensing agreement.
