Origin2023
Schneider Electric traces to 1836 when brothers Adolphe and Eugène Schneider founded the ironworks Schneider & Cie at Le Creusot, Burgundy — making it one of France's oldest industrial enterprises. The original Schneider business made the famous Creusot steam hammer (an industrial forging tool), railway locomotives, and later naval warships and artillery. Schneider-Creusot made armaments for WWI and WWII, including shells and tanks. The transition from steel/arms/heavy industry to electrical equipment accelerated through mid-20th century acquisitions; the company retained the Schneider name but exited its foundry and armaments businesses. The weapons maker became one of the world's dominant power management and automation companies.

Schneider Electric's AVEVA subsidiary (acquired 2018 as Schneider Electric Software, then relisted as AVEVA) makes the SCADA and DCS (distributed control system) software that runs the control rooms of oil refineries, water treatment plants, nuclear power stations, and pharmaceutical manufacturing lines. The same Schneider Electric company that makes the ATS that automatically switches a hospital to backup power when the grid fails also provides the SCADA control system for the grid operator managing that power — and the process automation for the pharmaceutical plant making the drugs in that hospital. Power infrastructure protection, industrial process control, and pharmaceutical manufacturing automation all converge at Schneider Electric's product portfolio.
