Schneider Electric, the leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced the launch of its anti-bacterial and self-disinfecting switches and sockets under its Livia product range.

Also, given the fact that sterilising and disinfecting the surrounding is paramount today, this range of switches and sockets will be available throughout all offline and online sales channels (Made to stock instead of Made to Order). 

Commenting on the launch, Srinivas Shanbhogue, VP, Home and Distribution Home and Distribution, Schneider Electric India said, ‘Livia range of anti-bacterial switches and sockets are our latest innovation in the connected living device category. These products will be one of the defining solutions that will shape the buildings of the future and ensure a modern, healthy lifestyle.’
