Legrand history

Electrical devices - The beginnings

In 1919, one of the partners, Jean Mondot, a Limoges craftsman who had set up a small factory at nearby Exideuil producing light switches made from porcelain and boxwood, expanded the company’s business by creating an ‘electrical wiring devices’ branch. Over the years, low-voltage electrical wiring devices were to gradually become the company’s main activity.
