The acquisition of AFCO Systems positions
Legrand, North and Central America as a leading provider of data
center cabinets and aisle containment solutions
Legrand, North and Central America (LNCA), an innovation leader
in power, light and data technologies for homes, workplaces and
data centers today announced the purchase of AFCO Systems, an
industry leader in the design, engineering and manufacture of
racks, cabinets, enclosures, and air containment systems for the
data center, collocation and telecommunications industries. The
acquisition will expand Legrand’s leadership in the commercial data
center market - and enhance product offerings for key customer
segments such as hyperscale, collocation, and cloud computing
providers and system integrators.
The AFCO Systems product line will become part of LNCA’s newly
formed Cabinet and Containment Solutions business within its Data
Communications division. The business will offer multiple product
lines and allow for sales teams to offer a broader array of cabinet
and containment solutions.
“The acquisition of AFCO Systems demonstrates Legrand, North and
Central America’s commitment to innovation and leadership in the
data center market,” said John Selldorff, President and CEO of
LNCA. “The creation of our new Cabinet and Containment Solutions
business, featuring the combined product lines of LNCA and AFCO
Systems, will enable us to further marshall our energy and
resources around this exciting space and enable us to address
almost any application or user requirement - from standard to full
custom solutions.”
AFCO Systems’ tubular welded construction platforms will allow
LNCA to better address the growing system integrator market for
pre-installation of servers and switches in cabinets, while also
providing seismic compliant solutions. In addition, AFCO Systems’
broad portfolio of aisle containment solutions and custom
engineering expertise compliments Legrand’s recently introduced
Contain-IT Flex system, and positions Legrand as a provider of the
most comprehensive and adaptable aisle containment offering on the
market.
“We are excited to become a part of LNCA and to provide
customers with an enhanced product portfolio,” said Mike Mallia,
General Manager of the Cabinet and Containment Solutions business
unit of the Data Communications division of LNCA. “Legrand’s strong
market presence, extensive distribution channels, and global
manufacturing footprint will enable us to provide greater service
and response times anywhere in the world and accelerate innovation
and product development in a rapidly evolving marketplace.”
