Legrand, the specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructures, has announced two major advancements in its data center strategy: the acquisition of Kratos Industries (Kratos), a fast-growing manufacturer of low-voltage (LV) and medium-voltage (MV) power equipment, and its partnership with Accelsius, a pioneer in two-phase, direct to-chip liquid cooling.
The acquisition of Kratos enables Legrand to offer a more robust critical power portfolio to the data center market by expanding on its existing gray space solutions, including cable bus, load banks, and cable tray, as well as complementing its major white space power portfolio of busway, busduct, and rack power (PDU) solutions.
The partnership with Accelsius marks a significant expansion of Legrand’s data center capabilities into cutting-edge direct-to-chip two-phase liquid cooling. Through this strategic relationship, Legrand and Accelsius will collaborate on joint development initiatives across the white space, including the integration of liquid cooling into rack infrastructure.
Together, the Kratos acquisition and the Accelsius partnership demonstrate two pillars of a unified strategy: to build a complete, future-ready portfolio of mission-critical infrastructure across both the gray and white spaces.
