Simon 180° Rotating Plug Multiple Socket Adapter

Brand History and Origin

Simon is an internationally recognized brand of electrical equipment, lighting systems, and home automation solutions. The brand originated in 1916 in Olot (Girona), Spain, when Arturo Simón founded a small workshop manufacturing lamp holders during World War I shortages. Over the decades, Simon grew into Spain's leading manufacturer of electrical installation material, switches, and wiring accessories.

Ownership Structure

Simon is owned by Simon Holding, S.L., a private Spanish multinational group still closely held by the founding Simón family. Headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, the group manages a global footprint spanning tens of subsidiaries, production plants, and sales operations across Europe, Latin America, and Asia.

Manufacturing Footprint

While Simon maintains significant high-tech manufacturing facilities in Spain and Europe for primary architectural wiring devices and lighting systems, compact consumer plug adapters and accessories, such as this rotating multiple socket, are typically manufactured in China according to Simon's European design and quality specifications.
