Schneider Electric's world headquarters is located in Rueil-Malmaison, France, at 35 rue Joseph Monier, Rueil-Malmaison, 92500 France, which is a western suburb of Paris in the Hauts-de-Seine department about 8 kilometers from central Paris. Schneider Electric was originally founded in 1836 in Le Creusot, France, by brothers Adolphe and Joseph-Eugene Schneider as a steel and armaments company, and over nearly 190 years it evolved into a global leader in energy management and automation. The Rueil-Malmaison headquarters serves as the global corporate center housing the CEO, executive committee, corporate finance, strategy, and governance functions for its worldwide operations that include over 200 factories and more than 150,000 employees in over 100 countries. While the official global headquarters is in Rueil-Malmaison, Schneider also has major regional headquarters including Boston, Massachusetts, for North America where its Square D brand is headquartered and where it sells QO and Homeline panels, as well as hubs in Hong Kong for Asia Pacific. The Rueil-Malmaison location is often simply referred to as Paris headquarters, but the precise legal and corporate headquarters is in Rueil-Malmaison, and Schneider is publicly traded on Euronext Paris as part of the CAC 40 index.
