Legrand continues its active and disciplined bolt-on acquisition strategy with today’s announcement of the acquisition of Girtz Industries, a U.S. specialist in the design of highly customized modular power integration solutions (Power Pods), as well as testing and technical services. Girtz’s modular power and generator solutions are critical for customers requiring back-up power or behind-the-meter primary power solutions, primarily in datacenters but also across industrial, infrastructure and commercial applications. 
Based in Monticello, Indiana, the company employs around 300 people and generates annual revenue of nearly $80 million. 

Benoît Coquart, Legrand’s Chief Executive Officer; commented : 
“Girtz Industries strengthens our position in the United States at the crossroad of two major trends : the unprecedented growth in power demand, which is reshaping the energy landscape, and the emergence of new datacenter architectures that require high-density, energy-efficient and increasingly decentralized power solutions. 
This acquisition is the sixth completed by Legrand since the beginning of the year, all focused on energy transition and datacenter opportunities, and together representing nearly €440 million in additional annual revenue.”
