Dedicated to Design Excellence
In 2010, the Schneider Electric Design and Ergonomics team consisted of four designers in Grenoble, France. Today, we are 30, with offices located across the five continents. Our aim is to craft design that is globally distinctive, yet culturally accurate for consumers across the globe.
Consequently, our engagement in over 400 projects across all business units has resulted in a significant evolution of the Schneider Electric brand and product portfolio.
From the simplest of switches to complex operational systems software, we design reliable, easy-to-use and ingenious solutions to improve the way our customers manage and automate their operations. At Schneider Electric, we call this Life Is On.
