This strategic move is designed to leverage the complementary strengths of the two brands and align them under one brand that combines the cutting-edge technology of Encelium with the established brand strength and market leadership of Wattstopper.
“The rebranding of Encelium to Wattstopper Plus combines the best of both worlds—Wattstopper’s operational excellence and brand recognition, with the cutting-edge technology of Encelium,” said Andrea Lamieri, Vice President and General Manager, Building Controls Systems Division. “This transition strengthens our ability to deliver scalable, high-performance lighting control solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers, while ensuring we remain at the forefront of the industry.”
