Schneider Electric is from France, founded in 1836 by brothers Adolphe and Joseph-Eugene Schneider in Le Creusot, France, as a steel and armaments company that later evolved into an electrical manufacturing giant. It is a French multinational corporation headquartered in Rueil-Malmaison, France, which is a suburb west of Paris, and it is legally incorporated in France and publicly traded on the Euronext Paris stock exchange as part of the CAC 40 index of largest French companies. Despite its French origins, Schneider Electric is a truly global company with operations in over 100 countries, more than 200 factories worldwide, and major regional headquarters including Boston, Massachusetts, for North America where it owns Square D and sells QO and Homeline panels at Home Depot and Lowes. Schneider's French identity is reflected in its name, history, and corporate governance, but it operates as a global company with diverse employees and manufacturing in North America, Europe, and Asia. So Schneider Electric is a French company, one of the largest electrical manufacturers in the world alongside other French peer Legrand and German peer Siemens, and it maintains its global headquarters in France while serving customers worldwide.
