CP Electronics acquired by Legrand Electric

Having acquired Jontek, a specialist provider of software platforms for assisted living call centres, Legrand Electric Limited has also announced the acquisition of CP Electronics Limited, a UK leader in energy efficient lighting controls.

Solutions from CP Electronics are complementary to Legrand’s offer in the commercial segment, where the company has leading positions in workstation solutions and in cable management systems.

In a press announcement, Legrand said: “CP Electronics will boost Legrand’s international presence in energy efficient lighting control, a market driven by new building regulations and increased demand for energy saving solutions and where Legrand already commands leading positions, namely in the United States thanks to its Wattstopper brand.

London-based CP Electronics – which employs 180 staff – will form part of a newly created energy controls business unit, run by CP Electronics’ management team reporting to Tony Greig, CEO Legrand Electric.
