Strengthening Global Data Center Portfolio
Both acquisitions are set to bolster Legrand’s global data center portfolio by adding complementary technologies and expanding its market presence in Southern and Central Europe. As a leading expert in electrical and digital building infrastructures, Legrand continues to diversify its data center solutions, encompassing racks, cable management, power distribution units, and cooling systems.
By integrating Quitérios’ modular distribution expertise and Amperio’s compact busbar systems, Legrand is poised to deliver integrated, energy-efficient solutions tailored for hyperscale, colocation, and edge data centers. These strategic acquisitions, along with the previous purchases of Computer Room Solutions (CRS) in Australia and Linkk Busway Systems in Malaysia, reinforce Legrand’s commitment to remaining at the forefront of the rapidly evolving industries associated with energy and digital transformation.
With an annual income exceeding €100 million collectively from the recent acquisitions, Legrand’s CEO, Benoît Coquart, expressed his satisfaction with the company’s progress. These investments align perfectly with Legrand’s 2030 strategic plan, focusing on strengthening its position in industries experiencing significant growth due to the ongoing energy and digital transformation. As the demand for scalable and high-performance data center infrastructure continues to rise, Legrand’s ongoing investments underscore its dedication to maintaining a prominent role in the digital infrastructure sector across global markets.
