Heritage & History
Isidor Levitin founded the company that would become Leviton in New York City in 1906, beginning with the production of lamp sockets and lighting hardware at a time when electrification was transforming American homes and businesses. Levitin — whose name was eventually adopted as the brand name — recognized that the build-out of electrical infrastructure across the country would create sustained demand for quality wiring devices, and he built the company's early reputation on the reliability and consistency of its products.
Over more than a century, Leviton expanded its product line to track the evolution of American electrical systems: from lamp sockets to switches and outlets in the early 20th century, to dimmers and GFCI outlets in the latter half of the century, to smart home devices, USB charging outlets, and electric vehicle charging equipment in the 21st century. The company has remained privately held through six generations of family ownership — an unusual achievement for a company of Leviton's scale in a consolidating industry. That family ownership has allowed Leviton to invest in long-term manufacturing capability and domestic production rather than optimizing purely for quarterly margins, sustaining its position as North America's largest privately held electrical wiring device manufacturer.
Made in the USA
Leviton manufactures electrical wiring devices in the United States, with its headquarters in Melville, New York on Long Island and manufacturing operations distributed across US facilities. The company's domestic production covers its core residential and commercial wiring device lines — including the decora-style switches and outlets found in millions of American homes, GFCI outlets required by electrical code in wet locations, and dimmer switches for incandescent, LED, and CFL lighting.
US manufacturing is particularly important for Leviton's product categories because electrical devices are subject to rigorous safety standards enforced by UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and local electrical codes. Domestic production gives Leviton direct control over the materials and manufacturing processes that determine whether devices meet these safety standards over their operational life. The company's smart home product line — including in-wall smart switches and outlets compatible with major home automation platforms — is developed and manufactured in the USA, combining the brand's century-long wiring device expertise with current wireless communication and home network technology. From Isidor Levitin's first lamp sockets in 1906 to today's smart electrical infrastructure, Leviton's American manufacturing has been continuous for more than 118 years.
