To help it meet global needs, including energy transition and datacenter expansion, Legrand, a provider of electrical and digital building infrastructures, has acquired Girtz Industries, which makes custom-engineered modular power enclosures and related services.

The Monticello, Ind.-based Girtz was selected for its development and integration of complete power systems, which support the reliable provision of critical power across datacenter, industrial, and commercial applications, Legrand said. Girtz generated annual revenue of nearly $80 million in 2025 and has over 300 employees.

Girtz will become a business unit within Legrand’s electrical wiring systems division led by Ravi Ramanathan. David Girtz, who has served as Girtz Industries’ President and CEO for nearly 40 years, will continue to lead the Girtz business and team, reporting to Ravi.

“The unprecedented demand for power is reshaping our energy landscape. Girtz Industries’ modular power and generator solutions are indispensable to industries that require critical back-up power or off-grid, behind-the-meter primary power options,” said Brian DiBella, president and CEO, Legrand, North and Central America. “Legrand is a growth company focused on reaching €15 billion in revenue globally by 2030. To help meet that goal, we continue to acquire businesses that meet global needs, including energy transition and datacenter expansion.”

DiBella went on to say that adding Girtz Industries to Legrand’s portfolio “is a natural next step,” as the company is extending its reach along the power chain by adding support for power generation and redundancy. “This complements our existing portfolio of power quality, power distribution, and cable management solutions, which helps us continually evolve and improve the lives of our customers.”

Backed by Legrand’s financial strength, Girtz Industries will be able to further invest in its people and facilities within the local community, “while also increasing capacity for production and testing services at an accelerated rate, said Girtz. “Legrand’s proven expertise in efficiently scaling operations will also help us meet the growing demand from our customers, as well as innovate for more diverse applications.”
