History

1836–1963

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

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  [ fr ] in 1992. [16]

1999–present

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]
