Over 180 years of experience and innovation
In the early 19th century, the Schneider brothers invested in the Creusot foundry, becoming a major player in the steel and engineering industries. Shortly thereafter, Schneider & Cie became active in the emerging electricity market.
In 1975, the company acquired shares in the electrical company Merlin Gerin and increasingly focused on the manufacturing of products for power distribution. Finally, in the 1980s and 1990s, the company said goodbye to the defense industry altogether and specialized in the electrical sector.
Over the past almost two centuries, the company has built up expertise in the installation and building technology, building automation and security segments. In addition, the company has increasingly specialized in motion control and expanded its offerings in software, critical power and smart grids.
Whether solutions for home, office, industry or infrastructure: Schneider Electric stands for centuries of experience, innovation & quality and has clearly positioned itself especially in the field of sustainability.
As part of its Green Premium label, the company is committed to a transparent approach to all information relating to the manufacturing of its products. In this way, the company not only wants to set a good example itself, but also help Schneider Electric's customers achieve their own sustainability goals.
