Is Pass and Seymour the same as Leviton?

No, Pass and Seymour is not the same as Leviton; they are separate, competing brands of electrical wiring devices owned by different parent companies with different histories. Leviton is an independent, privately held family-owned American company founded in 1906 in Brooklyn, New York, and headquartered in Melville, New York, that designs and manufactures its own Decora switches, outlets, and Decora Smart smart devices and is one of the largest wiring device manufacturers in North America. Pass and Seymour is a historic American brand founded in 1890 in Syracuse, New York, that is now owned by Legrand, a large French multinational company headquartered in Limoges, France, which acquired Pass and Seymour in 1983. Pass and Seymour operates as Legrand's primary wiring device brand in North America under the name Pass and Seymour by Legrand and includes collections like Radiant and Adorne with screwless plates and customizable finishes. Both brands compete directly in the same market segments selling outlets, switches, GFCI outlets, and dimmers at Home Depot, Lowes, and electrical distributors like Graybar, but they have distinct designs, patents, and product lines. So Leviton and Pass and Seymour are competitors, not the same company, with Leviton being American family owned and Pass and Seymour being French owned by Legrand.
