It sells electrical equipment, automation systems, software and related services used to operate buildings, factories, data centres, infrastructure and power systems more efficiently and reliably. The company primarily makes money through equipment sales, software, maintenance and project-based services sold to enterprises, industrial customers, channel partners and public-sector buyers.

Company news briefing
Briefing updated:
Schneider Electric continues to expand its digital and energy management footprint through its $22.6 billion acquisition of industrial software maker PTC and a €1.2 billion takeover offer for Bulgaria's Shelly Group. Alongside these strategic portfolio expansions, the company partnered with Apple on the new Home Collection smart home accessories ecosystem. Meanwhile, Schneider Electric's programmable logic controllers were among those targeted in recent cyberattacks on U.S. water systems, highlighting ongoing critical infrastructure cybersecurity challenges.
Business model & monetisation
Monetisation is mainly driven by direct sales of electrical and automation equipment, enterprise software and recurring support or maintenance services.
