The history of Schneider ElectricSchneider Electric, founded in 1836, has transformed itself into the global specialist in energy management. From its roots in the iron and steel industry, heavy machinery, and ship building, it moved into electricity and automation management.Inthelate20thcenturytheSchneiderGroupshifted its focus to the electrical industry by separating from its non-strategic activities and was solidified though its acquisitions of Telemecanique in 1988, Square DTM in 1991andMerlinGerinin1992.In1999developmentofinstallation, systems and control was bolstered with the acquisitionofLexel,Europe’snumbertwoinelectricaldistribution. In May of the same year, the company was renamed Schneider Electric to more clearly emphasize itsexpertiseintheelectricalfield.
From 2000 through 2009 Schneider Electric entered into a phase of organic growth and began positioning itself in newmarketsegments:UPS(uninterruptiblepowersupply),movement control, building automation and security and renewableenergythroughtheacquisitionsofAPC,Clipsal,TAC,Pelco,XantrexTechnologyandmore.Asaglobalspecialist in energy management with operations in more
than 100 countries, Schneider Electric offers integrated solutions across multiple market segments, including leadership positions in energy and infrastructure, industrial processes, building automation, and data centers/networks, as well as a broad presence in residential applications. Focused on making energy safe, reliable, efficient, productive and green, the company's 100,000 plus employees achieved sales of 15.8 billion euros in 2009, through an active commitment to help individuals and organizations "Make the most of their energy™."
