Paris-based global electrical infrastructure business Legrand (Euronext Paris: LR) has acquired a Sydney company that specialises in supplying datacentre infrastructure.
Announcing the acquisition of Computer Room Solutions (CRS) on 2 April, Legrand said CRS was a leading player in the design, development, manufacturing and commissioning of white space infrastructure for datacentres including structural ceilings, airflow optimisation and containment and mechanical walls.
No financial details of the acquisition were disclosed.
Based in Mascot, CRS employs nearly 80 people and generates annual revenue of around $52 million.
Legrand chief executive Benoît Coquart said the acquisition would “significantly strengthen our positions both in Oceania and in the structurally promising datacentre vertical, which already represented around 20% of the group’s revenue in 2024”.
CRS was established in 2006 as a specialist provider of data and communications infrastructure. The company offers design, manufacturing and installation services.
In addition to its Sydney headquarters and main manufacturing centre, CRS has an additional manufacturing facility in Melbourne and an office in Brisbane.
