Schneider

Schneider Electric SE, tracing its industrial history to 1836 in Le Creusot, France, and now headquartered in Rueil-Malmaison, is a global energy management and automation leader whose influence on valve, pump and motor systems runs deeper than its consumer-facing electrical brand suggests. Through the Modicon legacy — the company created the programmable logic controller in 1968 — Schneider's industrial automation division supplies PLCs, HMI panels and the EcoStruxure architecture that connects plant equipment to analytics. Its control and switching products, motor starters, variable speed drives (Altivar range), soft starters and protection relays are standard equipment in pump stations, water treatment plants and compressor installations worldwide, directly governing the motors that drive pumps and the circuits that power electric valve actuators. The company's stewardship of the Foxboro DCS and its EcoStruxure Process Expert platform extend its reach into full process control. Schneider also leads the industry's sustainability agenda, committing to carbon-neutral operations across its value chain. With a presence in over one hundred countries and a components catalog of enormous depth, Schneider Electric is a foundational supplier wherever electrical power meets industrial process equipment.
