French electrical and digital building infrastructure company Legrand Group has announced the acquisition of Auckland-based cable management solution firm Mechanical Support Systems (MSS).
Founded in 2005, MSS designs, supplies and installs cable management solutions for businesses in the electrical and mechanical sectors.
Legrand said the combination of MSS' cable management solutions with its power, emergency lighting, structured cabling and wiring products will help the company target the commercial, infrastructure and data centre verticals.
“MSS’ current position in New Zealand stems from our strong people culture. This has attributed to the innovative, solution driven outcomes the business takes to market at present,” said Hayden Froggatt, co-founder of MSS.
"Joining forces with a global leader like Legrand will allow MSS to engage even quicker and support a much wider range of offerings for our combined customer base.”
Established in 1904, Legrand has nearly 38,000 employees across 90 countries and delivers solutions including electrical installations, infrastructure management, power optimisation, structured cabling and lighting.
The company said its global strategic roadmap focuses on growth and development initiatives including targeted acquisitions, product launches and expanding into new markets.
“The Legrand Group’s core purpose is to improve lives by offering solutions that are simple, innovative and sustainable,” said Palash Nandy, CEO at Legrand ANZ.
"While we are a global company, we are very local in our approach and committed to investing in our ANZ operations to offer tailored solutions for this market."
"Our expanded offering in cable management will enable us to offer more comprehensive solutions to growth sectors such as data centres."
