In the 19th century, Schneider Electric was engaged in the steel industry, heavy machinery industry, and ship construction industry; in the 20th century, it was engaged in the power and automation management industry. During the more than 170 years since its establishment, Schneider Electric has encountered countless challenges and made several major strategic choices. Now the group has grown into an industry leader.
1836: The Schneider brothers took over the then-defying Creusot Foundry (71), and two years later they founded Schneider & Cie.
1891: Schneider, who had become a professional weapon manufacturer, began to enter the emerging power market at that time and reformed and innovated himself.
1919: Through the European Industrial and Financial Union (EIFU), Schneider established bases in Germany and Eastern Europe. In the following years, Schneider formed an alliance with Westinghouse, the major international electrical group at the time, thus expanding his business scope to the production and manufacturing of power plants, electrical equipment and electric locomotives.
After the war: Schneider gradually stopped weapons manufacturing and turned to the construction, steel and electricity industries. In order to diversify the company's business and open up new markets, Schneider carried out an overall structural restructuring.
1981-1997: Schneider Electric put aside some non-strategic activities and continued to focus on the power industry. To implement this strategy, Schneider conducted several strategic mergers and acquisitions: TE Electric, Shikuai Power and Melanrilan became members of Schneider Electric Group in 1988, 1991 and 1992 respectively.
1999: Schneider has made great progress in the hyper-terminal field through the acquisition of Lexel, the second largest giant in the European power distribution industry. In May 1999, the group was renamed Schneider Electric, which emphasized more clearly that the company's professional commitment to the electrical field. After the name change, Schneider Electric adopted a strategy of accelerating development and improving market competitiveness.
2000-2009: With the development of its own structure and the implementation of company merger policies, Schneider Electric has positioned itself in new market segments, including: human-computer dialogue, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), and sports. Control, sound data image system, sensing technology, building automation and safety (such as Digital, Crouzet, Clipsal, MGE uninterruptible power system, TAC, Kavlico, Andover control, etc.)
