Our story is written by generations of people who have been transforming our company - and the world - for almost two centuries. Today, our heritage empowers us to innovate at every level - and to ensure that Life Is On.
Beginnings - 19th century
The Schneider brothers invested in the Creusot foundries and became major players in the steel and machinery industries. Schneider & Cie soon enters the emerging electricity market.
Reconstruction - Early 20th century
After two world wars, our company emerges as a diversified business that quickly expands into new markets, including construction and electricity.
Evolution - Late 20th century
The Schneider Group grows through strategic acquisitions and focuses on the electricity industry, energy management and innovative technologies.
Today - 21st century
With a unique portfolio of connected technologies: connected products, edge control and apps, analytics and services, we are the global specialist in energy management and automation.
