When you strike up a conversation about mergers and acquisitions in the electrical market, most people immediately start rambling about consolidation of the electrical channel and the hundreds of family-owned electrical supply houses that have been acquired by larger national or regional distributors over the past several decades.

But in recent years, electrical manufacturers have been busy acquiring companies, too.
