WE ARE THE LEADING ITALIAN DESIGN COMPANY FOR ELECTRICAL SOLUTIONS IN THE RESIDENTIAL, SERVICE AND INDUSTRIAL SECTORS
With several plants and manufacturing facilities in Italy and abroad, as well as a successful brand name well known in more than 60 countries around the world, BTicino has been part of the Legrand Group since 1989. Its acquisition of BTicino has given Legrand a brand name that represents at international level the best traditions in Italian design and manufacturing.
Each new project is a challenge that BTicino tackles with the strength of its DNA, which is the result of a perfect combination of constant drive for technological innovation, solid knowledge of aesthetic issues and desire of ensuring every time engaging user experiences.
Technological innovations are the basic ingredients of our solutions. The physical and digital aspects of a product must coexist harmoniously in a delicate balance: this is our goal.
Our focus is to create products that communicate with their surroundings, which do not need to “raise their voices” to be noticed but, on the contrary, can be appreciated for their typical Italian design and elegance.

OUR HISTORY THROUGH DESIGN
BTicino has always been extremely committed to quality, technology and Italian design, with the merit of having been the first to introduce the concepts of aesthetics and comfort in a sector where in the past performance was almost exclusively functional.
So far, BTicino has been awarded 3 Compasso D’Oro Awards (Golden Compass, the highest Italian design award), 3 IF Awards, 2 RedDot Awards, one CES Award, and has received a mention in the ADI Design Index.
BTicino won a Compasso d’Oro in 1989 for the “Living residential solution” and another one in 2001 for the “Sistema integrato di automazione domestica My Home” (MyHome home automation integrated system). In 2014, BTicino received an honourable mention for the “Telecomando domotico My Home” (MyHome home automation remote control).
The first nomination for the famous IF Design Award came in 1996, but it was the “Smarther” thermostat (2017), the “Classe 300EOS video internal unit” (2021) and the “Light Now” wiring device (2024) that secured for BTicino the coveted international award.
BTicino won the Red Dot awards for its Living and Light ranges (1996) and for its Milan Concept Store (2011).
In 2019, the “MyHome control with built-in voice assistant” won over the jury of the CES Innovation Award, who celebrated the value of BTicino products with the important prize.
In 2006, the Axolute range by BTicino was mentioned in the ADI Design Index, the annual design compendium produced by the Association for Italian Design (ADI), promoter of the Compasso D'Oro award.
BTicino, historically linked to the region and with a trademark registered and used continuously for at least 50 years, as a recognition of the "history" of national entrepreneurship and Made in Italy, has obtained registration in the Register of Historic Brands of National Interest from the Ministry of Economic Development, reserved only for national companies of excellence.
AS PART OF THE LEGRAND GROUP, WE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
Legrand and BTicino are committed to helping people use electricity in a sustainable way. The new CSR roadmap of the Legrand Group focuses on 4 key areas that guide and concentrate our commitments: fostering diversity and inclusion, reducing our carbon footprint, promoting the circular economy and, finally, being responsible players.
THIS IS OUR COMMITMENT TO THE PLANET
BTicino has consistently been developing environmentally sustainable processes and products.
The aim of the Group is to preserve and protect our planet by reaching carbon neutrality by 2050.
We created responsible packaging
BTicino demonstrates its commitment to protecting the environment on multiple fronts, including packaging. By carefully optimizing design, production and assembly processes, BTicino has created responsible packaging. Smart choices, such as reducing the printed surface, avoiding UV varnishing or lamination, and replacing plastic with 100% FSC Mix certified paper have paid off. The results so far are an increase in recycled raw materials (+134.1 T) and a strong reduction in weight (-26.6 T), disposable plastic (-26.3 T) and emissions (-153.5 T).
We make recycling easy
Recycling is a key aspect in the development of BTicino's packaging solutions. To facilitate separate waste collection, BTicino produces single-material packaging and provides consumers with tools to support proper disposal: the on-line guide on environmental labelling (currently available for the Italian market) provides a quick and easy answer to the question "How do I dispose of it?".
The WEEE European directive (2012/19/EU)
The WEEE directive aims to reduce the quantity of wastes coming from the end-of-life of electrical and electronic equipments, reducing at the same time the presence in the environment of the dangerous substances prohibited by the RoHS directive.
