Legrand Recognized as a 5-Star Program in the 2026 CRN® Partner Program Guide

WEST HARTFORD, CT– March 10, 2026 – Legrand, the global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructures, has been honored by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, with inclusion in the prestigious 2026 CRN Partner Program Guide and designation as a 5-Star Partner Program. This annual guide is an essential resource for solution providers seeking vendor partner programs that match their business goals and deliver high partner value.

As solution providers navigate evolving customer demands, new technologies and changing business models, the structure and depth of vendor partner programs play an increasingly critical role in partnership decisions. Elements such as financial incentives, sales and marketing support, training and certification opportunities, and technical resources can significantly influence a partner’s ability to scale, differentiate and drive profitability over time.

For the 2026 Partner Program Guide, the CRN research team assessed technology vendors based on the strength and breadth of their partner program offerings, including partner training and enablement, pre‑ and post‑sales support, marketing resources, technical assistance and ongoing communication. The resulting guide provides solution providers with meaningful insight into partner programs designed to support sustained success in a rapidly evolving channel landscape.

Legrand was recognized for the recent relaunch and expansion of its PRO Channel Partner Program, which represents the most significant evolution of the company's channel partner model to date. The updated program brings together solutions from Raritan, Server Technology, ZPE Systems, and Legrand Cabinets & Containment under a single, unified channel framework. To further support solution providers, Legrand unified its channel sales teams, enabling partners to engage with a single channel organization that supports the full program portfolio. The 5-Star rating also reflects Legrand's rollout of an enhanced partner portal experience, offering exceptional support, incentives, training, and resources to help partners grow their business.

“The biggest problem partners face today isn’t demand – it’s complexity,” said Mike Johnston, VP of Channel Sales, Legrand, North and Central America. “By bringing these solutions under one program, we’re making it easier for partners to move faster, sell more cohesively and support customers with fewer handoffs. Earning a 5-Star rating from CRN validates our commitment to simplifying how our partners go to market, ensuring they can easily build complete solutions without juggling multiple vendor relationships.”

“Being included in the 2026 CRN Partner Program Guide reflects how today’s technology vendors are rethinking their partner programs to keep pace with a rapidly evolving channel,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. “As solution providers navigate new customer demands, business models and technologies, this annual guide serves as a critical resource for identifying vendors that are investing in programs designed to drive long‑term growth and shared success. The guide delivers meaningful insight into what sets each partner program apart, helping solution providers make confident, strategic partnership decisions.”
