Melville, N.Y.-based Leviton<\/a> \u2013 the long-time manufacturer of electrical, lighting, data network and energy management solutions \u2013 is celebrating its 120th<\/sup> \u00a0anniversary in 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 1906, Leviton began as a small tinsmithing business founded by Isidor Leviton, where he produced mantle tips used for gas lighting. Since then, Leviton has grown from a single-product manufacturer into a global leader delivering comprehensive solutions across electrical wiring devices, lighting and controls, data networking and energy management. Leviton products are found in homes as well as commercial spaces (i.e. offices and healthcare facilities, data centers, and schools) as well as industrial environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor 120 years, Leviton has been guided by a clear vision \u2014 to transform potential into possibility. From electrifying homes in the early 1900s to enabling today\u2019s data-driven world, our journey has been one of continuous evolution and innovation,\u201d said Leviton CEO and President Daryoush Larizadeh. \u201cWe remain at the forefront of industry change, driven by an unwavering commitment to operational excellence, customer focus and a deep-seated belief in innovation, safety and entrepreneurial spirit. This anniversary celebrates our ongoing dedication to powering the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement issued by the company, Leviton remains focused on \u201cadvancing solutions that enable smarter buildings, resilient infrastructure and sustainable growth \u2014 all while embodying the entrepreneurial spirit that sparked its founding in 1906 and continues to profoundly shape its trajectory today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the year, Leviton will be celebrating its landmark achievement with special programming, including historical content on leviton.com, global employee engagement events and interactive social media campaigns under #Leviton120.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis milestone is an opportunity to look ahead to the next 120 years of innovation,\u201d Larizadeh remarked. \u201cThe world is rapidly moving toward smarter electrification and converging technologies that demand increased connectivity. Leviton is dedicated to building the essential foundation that will empower the built environment of tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
