Legrand's Story

From Porcelain to Power; The Legacy of One Idea

1865

Limoges, France.
It started with cups. A workshop opens to make porcelain tableware. Not industrial. Not electric. Just beautiful, everyday pieces.

1865
Built to last - literally
The porcelain was strong. Durable. So good, in fact, that it caught the attention of electricians.
They began using it - not for dining, but for insulation
When demand changes purpose
Over time, more electricians showed up than dinnerware buyers.
So in 1949, Legrand made a decision: Switch from making porcelain cups… to making switchgear.
1919 onwards

From workshop to industry - The pivot worked.
Switchgear became the future. And in 1966, Legrand went public - Still based in Limoges, now with a global outlook.

1919
1980s

Expansion with intent
Through the 1980s and 2000s, Legrand grew by welcoming others. Not just acquiring companies - but learning from them.

1925
60+ brands, still one focus
From Italy to India, From homes to hospitals, Legrand brings together specialists - All working towards one thing: smarter, safer power.
