No, Lutron is not a Canadian company; it is an American company founded and headquartered in the United States. Lutron Electronics Co., Inc. was founded in 1961 by Joel Spira, an American inventor who invented the solid-state dimmer, and his wife Ruth Spira, in Coopersburg, Pennsylvania, where its global headquarters and main manufacturing and engineering campus remain today. Lutron is privately held and family owned by the Spira family and is considered a flagship American manufacturer in lighting controls and smart home technology. Lutron does have a presence in Canada, selling its Caseta, RadioRA, and HomeWorks lighting control systems and automated shades through Home Depot Canada, Lowes Canada, electrical distributors, and professional dealers, and its products are certified to Canadian CSA standards for use in Canada. However, its corporate ownership, headquarters, and primary manufacturing are in Pennsylvania, USA, with additional offices worldwide. It is not incorporated in Canada and is not considered a Canadian company. It is an American multinational with Canadian distribution, similar to Leviton and Eaton which are also American companies with strong Canadian sales but American headquarters.
