History of Schneider Electric
In the 19th century, Schneider Electric was engaged in the steel industry, heavy machinery industry, and ship construction; In the 20th century, he was engaged in the power and automation management industry. In its more than 170 years of existence, Schneider Electric has faced numerous challenges and made several major strategic choices, and now the Group has grown to become an industry leader.
1836年：施耐德兄弟接管当时正处于困境的Creusot铸造厂（71），两年后他们成立了Schneider & Cie。
1891: Schneider, who had become a professional weapons manufacturer, began to reform itself by entering the then emerging power market.
1919: Through the European Union of Industry and Finance (EIFU), Schneider establishes bases in Germany and Eastern Europe. In the years that followed, Schneider expanded its business to include the production of power stations, electrical equipment and electric locomotives by forming an alliance with Westinghouse, the major international electric group at the time.
Post-war: Schneider gradually ceased arms manufacturing and turned to the construction, steel, and power industries. In order to diversify the company's business and open up new markets, Schneider underwent an overall restructuring.
1981-1997: Schneider Electric set aside some non-strategic activities and continued to focus on the power industry. In order to implement this strategy, Schneider made several strategic acquisitions: TE Appliances, Solid Fast Power and Merlin Gerland became members of the Schneider Electric Group in 1988, 1991 and 1992, respectively.
1999: With the acquisition of Lexel, the second largest player in Europe's power distribution industry, Schneider has made great strides in the field of ultra-terminals. In May 1999, the group changed its name to Schneider Electric, with a clearer emphasis on the company's expertise in the electrical sector. 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 the company's merger policy, Schneider Electric has positioned itself in new market segments, including: human-machine dialogue, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), motion control, sound data imaging systems, sensing technology, building automation and security (such as Digital, Crouzet, Clipsal, MGE uninterruptible power supply systems, TAC, Kavlico, Andover control, etc.).
