Who is the owner of Leviton?

The owner of Leviton is the Leviton family, as Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc. is a privately held family-owned company, not a publicly traded corporation. Leviton was founded in 1906 by Isidor Leviton and his father-in-law Aaron Schiffman in Brooklyn, New York. Today, the company remains privately held and is owned and managed by descendants of the founding family, with its headquarters in Melville, New York. The current leadership includes members of the Leviton family who serve as executives and board members, maintaining family control for over four generations. Because Leviton is private, it does not have public shareholders like Schneider Electric or Eaton, and its financial details are not publicly disclosed in SEC filings. This family ownership is relatively unique among major electrical manufacturers in North America, most of which are part of large publicly traded conglomerates. The family ownership has allowed Leviton to focus on long-term quality, American manufacturing, and innovation in wiring devices, lighting controls, and smart home products like Decora and Decora Smart, sold at Home Depot and Lowes. So the owner is the Leviton family itself, not an outside corporation or investment firm.
