LIMOGES, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
Building on its growth momentum through the acquisition of front-runners, Legrand (Paris:LR) today announced the purchase1 of Focal Point, strengthening solid positions in specification-grade architectural lighting solutions for commercial buildings in the United States.
Focal Point is a front-runner in the United States for specification-grade architectural lighting for non-residential buildings – including hospitals, schools and universities, offices and more – and offers customized solutions, in particular for renovation.
