Schneider Electric SE is a French multinational corporation that specializes in digital automation and energy management.[3][4]
Schneider Electric is a Fortune Global 500 company, publicly traded on the Euronext Exchange, and is a component of the Euro Stoxx 50 stock market index.[5] In fiscal year 2023, the company posted revenues of €35.9 billion.[1]
Schneider Electric is the parent company of Square D, APC, AVEVA and others. It is also a research company.[6]
History
[edit]1836–1963
[edit]In 1836, brothers Adolphe and Joseph-Eugene Schneider took over an iron foundry in Le Creusot, France.[7] Two years later, they founded Schneider-Creusot, the company that would eventually become Schneider Electric. Initially, Schneider-Creusot specialized in the production of steel, heavy machinery, and transportation equipment.[8][9] In 1871, following France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, the company significantly developed its capacity for weapons manufacturing.[10] Over the first half of the 20th century, Schneider-Creusot continued to grow, establishing manufacturing sites in France and abroad, including in pre-Soviet Russia and Czechoslovakia.[10][11]
1963–1999
[edit]In the 1960s, following the death of Charles Schneider, Schneider-Creusot was absorbed by Belgium's Empain group, which merged Schneider-Creusot with its corporate structures to form Empain-Schneider.[12][13] In 1981, the Empain family sold its controlling stake to Paribas.[13] In the 1980s and 1990s, the company, once again operating under the Schneider name, divested from steel and shipbuilding and, through strategic acquisitions, began to focus on the electricity sector.[9][14] These acquisitions included Télémécanique in 1988,[9] Square D in 1991,[15] and Merlin Gerin in 1992.[16]
1999–present
[edit]In January 1999, Schneider acquired the Scandinavian switch-maker Lexel.[17][18] Later that year, the company renamed itself Schneider Electric, to reflect its focus on the electricity sector.[17] In 2000, Schneider Electric acquired the French controls-maker Crouzet Automatismes from Thomson-CSF and the Swiss motion control specialist SIG Positec from SIG Group.[19]
In October 2006, Schneider Electric announced that it would acquire the data center equipment manufacturer American Power Conversion for $6.1 billion.[20][21] The following February, the move was finalized following its approval by the European Commission.[22] In June 2010, Schneider and the rolling stock manufacturer Alstom jointly purchased Areva's transmission and distribution businesses in a transaction totaling $2.73 billion.[23][24]
In 2016, Schneider acquired Tower Electric, a British company that manufactured fixings and fastenings for construction and electrical firms.[citation needed] In 2017, Schneider Electric became the majority shareholder of Aveva, a provider of engineering and industrial software based in the UK.[25][26] The next year, it acquired the Indian multinational Larsen & Toubro's electrical and automatic business in a cash deal for ₹140 billion (US$1.7 billion).[27]
In February 2020, Schneider made a €1.4 billion takeover bid for German company RIB Software,[28] closing the deal in July 2020.[29] Also in 2020, Schneider Electric acquired ProLeiT AG, a supplier of industrial control and MES software.[30]
In January 2023, Schneider Electric's acquisition of Aveva was finalized.[31]
In November 2023, Schneider Electric finalized its acquisition of EcoAct, a company devoted to climate consulting and net-zero solutions.[32][33][34]
After 18 month in office, CEO Peter Herweck was removed by the board of directors and replaced with Olivier Blum in early November 2024.[35]
