Legrand has acquired Australian Plastic Profiles, making it the Legrand Group’s largest ANZ investment since the 2007 acquisition of HPM.

The acquisition doubles Legrand’s size in Australia and demonstrates its ongoing commitment to investing in the ANZ market.

“Australian Plastic Profiles joining our portfolio of strong brands and products demonstrates our confidence in and ambitions for the ANZ market,” Legrand chief executive Palash Nandy says.

“Australian Plastic Profiles’ product range is complimentary to Legrand and allows both companies to benefit from compelling business synergies to provide an enhanced suite of solutions that improve lives for our customers.”

Australian Plastic Profiles is a top player in the Australian PVC conduit market for electrical and plumbing. The company operates under two brands: AussieDuct for its electrical products business and Pipe King for its plumbing operations.

With local operational capabilities including its headquarters and substantial manufacturing facility in Caringbah, Sydney, along with seven warehouses around Australia, Australian Plastic Profiles has a strong national footprint and a team of around 250 people.
