Through time
From its origins as a simple porcelain workshop, Legrand gradually focused on electrical wiring devices, and is now the global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructures. Fundamental changes over its 150-year history include shifts from porcelain to electrical components, from wiring devices to infrastructure, and from electrical to digital technology.Today the Group is harnessing the same capacity for successful adaptation to stake out positions in the smart building market. And even more conventional products such as power sockets and distribution panels are becoming interactive.
