In a move that looks set to dramatically strengthen its North American supply chain, Schneider Electric is committing more than US$700m to expand US operations through to 2027.
The investment is set to support energy infrastructure improvements, the expansion of domestic manufacturing and growing demand for AI technologies.
Rising regional demand from data centres, utilities and industrial sectors is driving what represents Schneider Electric’s largest single capital investment in its 135-year US history. It builds on previous investments in 2023 and 2024, bringing its total US investment to more than US$1bn this decade.
The funds will be directed towards factory expansions and job creation, reflecting increased customer demand for energy-efficient solutions, industrial automation and grid reliability.
