Schneider Electric Expands West Coast Presence, Opens New Manufacturing Facility in California

PALATINE, Ill.—Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management and automation, announced the grand opening of its new manufacturing location in Livermore, Calif. The facility will serve as a West Coast hub for its U.S. Services team, offering improved customer service for Schneider Electric’s local customers while also supporting the production of Schneider Electric’s portfolio of modernization products, including direct replacement circuit breaker designs and custom designs.

Schneider Electric’s Livermore facility will offer application and design engineering, switchgear modernization solutions, motor control center retro-fill solutions, and custom switchgear solutions. Customers will experience reduced lead times, the company said, thanks to increased proximity, access to local engineering support for on-site measuring and inspection, and synchronized operating hours.

“By going west, we are able to better serve our customers on the West Coast and provide them with the resources they need to successfully implement modernization solutions,” said Schneider Electric Senior Vice President of U.S. Services, Udaya Devineni, in a press release.

The facility will support Schneider Electric’s broad array of products and solutions designed to help buildings and facility managers easily retrofit and modernize existing building system installations. Schneider Electric’s modernization products and engineering services ensure building owners and operators are making informed decisions about modernization to help buildings run optimally, even as technologies become outdated or obsolete.

“We are thrilled the company has selected our community as the foundation of its West Coast presence,” said Livermore Mayor John Marchand. “We are excited to engage with Schneider Electric and develop a long-term relationship between the company and the community.”

The new facility will incorporate Schneider Electric’s vision of providing services and solutions that enable engineers, contractors, and facility managers to improve energy efficiency while enhancing safety, productivity and electrical system reliability. The facility will be located at 6611 Preston Avenue, Suite A, in Livermore, California. Tours of the facility are available for interested customers.
