Schneider Electric was founded in 1836 by brothers Adolphe and Joseph-Eugene Schneider, who took over an iron foundry in Le Creusot, France. Initially, the company, then known as Schneider-Creusot, specialized in steel, heavy machinery, and transportation equipment. Following France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, the company expanded into weapons manufacturing. Over the first half of the 20th century, Schneider-Creusot grew, establishing manufacturing sites in France and abroad. In 1999, the company renamed itself Schneider Electric to reflect its focus on the electricity sector. Since then, it has made numerous strategic acquisitions, including Lexel, Crouzet Automatismes, American Power Conversion, and Aveva, among others.
