Legrand North America has announced that it has acquired Original Cast Lighting Inc. (OCL), a lighting manufacturer that offers decorative and custom lighting fixtures for commercial applications.
“This market continues to grow as digital technology transforms product offerings, while lighting designers and specifiers drive demand for more innovative and contemporary lighting solutions,” says John Selldorff, CEO, Legrand North and Central America. “The acquisition by Legrand will strengthen OCL’s ability to offer lighting products that meet customers’ needs and transform the spaces where our customers live and work.”
Moving forward, OCL will continue to operate as a standalone business within Legrand North America. “For over 44 years, OCL has been dedicated to designing lighting fixtures that enhance building environments, create energy savings, and respond to the evolving needs of the design community,” says Josh Shapiro, president, OCL. “Joining forces with Legrand North America will enable us to greatly enhance our ability to expand our product offerings and to bring those products to market faster than we could have in the past.”
