Investing more than US$700m, Schneider Electric aims to expand its operations in the US, focusing on sustainability, AI and energy infrastructureSchneider Electric is setting out to substantially reinforce its supply chain in North America, pledging an investment worth more than US$700m by 2027.
This strategic financial commitment is aimed at enhancing energy infrastructure, scaling up domestic manufacturing and catering to the growing demands for AI technologies.
The increasing regional needs of data centres, utilities and industrial sectors are behind Schneider Electric's largest single capital investment in its 135-year history in the US.
This initiative builds upon earlier investments made in 2023 and 2024, culminating in a total commitment of over US$1bn this decade.
This extensive funding will be channelled towards enhancing factory operations and creating new jobs, in response to escalating consumer demand for energy-efficient solutions, industrial automation and grid reliability.
"This investment supports growing demand for digitalisation, automation and manufacturing, and includes upgrades, expansions and new facilities across the US," explains Agustin Lopez Diaz, North America Supply Chain Officer at Schneider Electric.
Agustin said manufacturing in the US had entered an "exciting moment" and that Schneider was demonstrating a "deep commitment to continuing to bolster our supply chain in North America".
Expanding operations and creating jobs
Schneider Electric's investment is anticipated to generate more than 1,000 jobs across its facilities.
The company is focusing on strengthening its workforce, specifically targeting veterans and retiring US service members for recruitment in diverse roles that include manufacturing, engineering, development and technical analysis.
Aamir Paul, President of North America Operations at Schneider Electric, lifts the lid on the organisation's bold capital commitment: "We stand at an inflection point for the technology and industrial sectors in the US, driven by incredible AI growth and unprecedented energy demand. To lead the transformation ahead, we must be agile and act now to advance ambitious digitalisation and efficiency goals to make an impact for generations to come."
