Industrial firm Legrand has continued its recent data center-focused acquisition spree with the purchase of load bank provider Avtron.
The company announced the deal last week. Terms were not shared.
Avtron Power Solutions employs 600 people, operates five manufacturing sites across North America and Europe, and is expected to generate nearly $350 million in revenue in 2025.
Avtron will operate as a stand-alone business unit within Legrand’s electrical wiring systems division, led by Ravi Ramanathan. David Cox, Avtron’s current CEO, will continue to oversee the business, reporting to Ramanathan.
“Avtron Power Solutions’ 75-year history of leadership, innovation, and commitment to customer service and satisfaction align with our cultural and customer-centric values,” said Brian DiBella, president and CEO, Legrand, North and Central America. “Avtron has a well-established, successful model for growth, which was developed and driven by an experienced leadership team. Once the deal is closed, we look forward to welcoming Avtron’s employees around the globe to our Legrand community.”
Avtron provides a variety of load banks, grounding resistors, and dynamometers, serving data centers, healthcare facilities, renewable energy applications, and industrial manufacturing sites.
“Legrand has a long tradition of success in acquiring robust companies like ours for the purpose of investing in and accelerating their growth. By joining forces with Legrand, we are advancing our leadership position in management infrastructure and propelling our Avtron technology and solutions to further support existing and new market opportunities,” added Avtron’s Cox.
Headquartered in Limoges, France, Legrand is a French industrial group. The company currently operates in 90 countries, with its offerings including electrical equipment and digital building infrastructure.
The acquisition follows a busy 2024 and continues a busy 2025 for Legrand in the data center space.
The company acquired five companies in the segment last year, including Canadian busbar company Power Bus Way, Netrack in India, Davenham in Ireland, Vass in Australia, and UPSistemas in Colombia.
Following the acquisition of CRS earlier this year, June 2025 saw the company purchase Linkk Busway Systems, an Asian specialist in power busbars, with a focus on data center grey space. In July, the firm acquired Swiss busbar provider Amperio Project and Portuguese distribution board company Quitérios.
