Schneider Electric announced plans to invest over $700 million in its U.S. operations over the next two years as it navigates potential tariff threats that could impact its business, Reuters news report said.
The investment, set to be completed through 2027, aims to strengthen the country’s energy infrastructure to support artificial intelligence expansion, boost domestic manufacturing, and enhance energy security. This move aligns with broader trends among multinational corporations responding to shifting trade policies and the growing need for resilient supply chains.
Schneider Electric is upgrading, expanding, and establishing new facilities in multiple states, including Tennessee, Massachusetts, Texas, Missouri, Ohio, and the Carolinas. Through this expansion, the company anticipates creating over 1,000 new jobs, contributing to local economies while reinforcing its presence in the U.S. market.
This latest commitment builds on the $440 million investment Schneider Electric has already made since 2020 to fortify its U.S. supply chain. With this additional funding, the company’s total investment in the U.S. will surpass $1 billion this decade, reflecting its long-term strategy to position itself at the forefront of the evolving industrial and technology sectors.
Schneider Electric’s President of North America Operations, Aamir Paul, highlighted the transformative nature of this moment, emphasizing that the technology and industrial sectors are at a turning point driven by rapid AI advancements and soaring energy demands.
