Eyeing expansion in India, Legrand bids for Indo Asian Switchgear

Following its purchase of Inform, Turkey’s number-one contender in UPS, on July 9, Legrand announced that it had made an offer to buy the Indo Asian Switchgear division of Indo Asian Fusegear Limited, New Delhi, India. The offer, which requires corporate approval, has already received the unanimous support of Indo Asian Fusegear’s board of directors. Indo Asian Switchgear makes miniature and residual current circuit breakers, distribution boards and relays aimed primarily at the retail market. They round out existing Legrand operations in India, where the group holds strong positions in high-end protection systems used in project business and in premium wiring devices.
