Legrand is headquartered in Limoges, France, a city in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of southwestern France known for its porcelain industry and as the historic home of Legrand. Legrand was founded in 1865 in Limoges as a small porcelain workshop making porcelain insulators for early electrical installations, and it has grown from that local workshop into a large French multinational and one of the world's leading manufacturers of electrical and digital building infrastructure. Its global headquarters remains in Limoges, where it has major corporate offices, and it also has significant operations and regional headquarters in other locations including Paris, France, and in North America, its main operations for Pass and Seymour and Wattstopper brands are headquartered in Syracuse, New York, and other US locations. Legrand is publicly traded on the Euronext Paris stock exchange and employs over 38,000 people worldwide with operations in about 90 countries, selling products including wiring devices, lighting controls, cable management, and data center infrastructure. Despite its global presence and extensive North American operations selling at Home Depot, Lowes, and electrical distributors, Legrand's legal and corporate headquarters has remained in Limoges, France, for over 160 years, reflecting its French origins and identity.
