	'Innovating is like challenging the nature of things. Those who have participated in the development of LEGRAND Company have refused the pre-established schemes of their time in order to go forward and follow their ideas'. LEGRAND Company and its innovating achievements naturally correspond to this text written by the Management. The following realizations reveal the Company's dynamism and strategy since its setting up. Technological innovations In 1985: patent registration for the Prefabricated Drawing and Connection Pits, which convinced the SNCF for their easy installation. In 2001: patent registration of a MIAL spatial structure for long spans, with few supports. The aim is to open new market outlooks. In 2002: new patent registration for Modular Cables Pits in recycled polystyrene (PS) elements, in order to lighten and considerably improve the pits installing. Technical evolution of the works machines in order to win precision and productivity. Organisation innovations The Company has been structured into Production Groups to have a flexible organisation for an efficient presence on all markets gaps. LEGRAND Company chose to keep its collaborators, inviting the interested ones to invest in the shareholding. The Company also knew how to delegate organisation and safety responsibilities to more than 80 executives. The firm also chose to look for skilled personnel, creating departments allowing to face new imperatives: computer, legal, quality, and prices study departments. Activities orientation The company has invested in new activities in order to be able to face the future challenges: Measurements, control and joining of optical fibres cables. Creation of a Telecom Engineering department. Creation of an Export department. Boosting of the ‘street lighting’ activity in 2003.
