Melville, NY-based Leviton has acquired JCC Advanced Lighting, a UK-based manufacturer of LED lighting for residential and commercial applications. The acquisition establishes Leviton in the UK market and affords the company growth opportunities internationally.
"Leviton's acquisition of JCC provides a significant presence in the UK and a good base for the future," said Don Hendler, Leviton CEO. "Since our beginnings more than a century ago, Leviton has built a reputation on innovation and product development, so adding a market-leading advanced lighting solutions business like JCC makes strategic sense for our global expansion."
JCC will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Leviton, maintaining operations in the UK. The company will continue to be led by Richard Adey, current executive chairman of JCC.
Leviton is a global provider of electrical wiring devices, data connectivity solutions and lighting and energy management systems for a variety of end-use markets.
