Legrand, West Hartford, CT, acquired Encelium, an Ontario, Canada-based manufacturer of advanced commercial lighting controls.
The acquisition of Encelium brand and products, which takes effect immediately, comes as part of Legrand’s ongoing global strategy to further strengthen its position in the commercial lighting control sector. According to the press release, Encelium’s controls are currently installed in thousands of buildings. Encelium will become part of Legrand’s Building Control Systems division because of its in-fixture control options, site lighting and DALI controls. It joins Legrand’s portfolio of brands such as Legrand Wattstopper, Legrand Shading and Vantage.
Andrea Lamieri, general manager, for Legrand’s Building Control Systems business, said in the press release that being part of a multi-billion-dollar company will allow Encelium to offer expanded products and services. “We look forward to providing Encelium customers with access to expanded control solutions from Legrand, including the comprehensive digital lighting control platform which extends to DLM motorized shading, and delivers on code-ready solutions,” she said.
