Legrand 2-pin power plug

Legrand is a historic French industrial group that has become a global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructures. The product shown is a standard European 2-pin electrical plug, designed for residential or commercial power applications. Legrand's history dates back to 1865 when it was founded as a porcelain workshop, eventually transitioning into electrical equipment as porcelain was an excellent insulator.

Today, Legrand operates a vast network of manufacturing facilities worldwide to serve regional markets. While many of its high-specification components are still manufactured in Europe, particularly France and Italy, its consumer-facing electrical accessories are produced in various locations globally, including China, India, and Brazil. The brand represents a major portion of the global market for switches and sockets.

Legrand is an independent publicly traded company listed on the Euronext Paris. It is the ultimate owner of its own brand and several other notable labels in the electrical sector, such as Bticino. Headquartered in Limoges, France, the company continues to focus on energy efficiency and smart home technologies under the Legrand brand umbrella.
