Smart Building Access Control & Building Automation Infrastructure
Strategic Profile
With revenue of €74 million in 2024, Cogelec operates through an indirect distribution model based on close relationships with social landlords and building management associations. The company completed its acquisition by Legrand France in October 2025, with Legrand acquiring 60.09% of share capital for €29 per share, establishing strategic integration within the larger building infrastructure platform.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Cogelec demonstrates solid market positioning with strong subscription revenue model from 2.6+ million dwellings and established European presence. However, the company is now majority-owned by Legrand (as of October 2025), which transitions it from independent operator to subsidiary status. The integration with Legrand's €8.6B platform provides scale advantages but reduces independence.
