Through time
From its origins as a simple porcelain workshop, Legrand gradually refocused on electrical wiring devices and has now become the global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructures. In over 150 years, Legrand has changed in profound ways—from porcelain to electrical components, from wiring devices to infrastructure, and from electrical to digital technology.
Today Legrand is harnessing the same capacity for adaptation to stake out positions in the smart building market. And even more conventional products such as power sockets and distribution panels are becoming more and more interactive.
