Strategic Expansion Boosts Local Manufacturing to Power Canada’s Energy Transition

BROSSARD, Quebec--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 2, 2025-- Schneider Electric Canada, a global leader in energy management and automation, is pleased to announce the expansion of its Brossard, Quebec facility. This strategic development includes the addition of a new production line dedicated to the local manufacturing of Schneider Electric’s advanced power equipment and electrical distribution devices—critical components in the electrification of buildings, hospitals, data centers, and infrastructure across Canada.

The milestone will be celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 4, 2025, marking a significant investment that brings manufacturing closer to Canadian customers and reinforces Schneider Electric’s commitment to local innovation and resilience.

“At Schneider Electric, one of our core principles is that while we operate on a global scale, we make decisions locally with our customers’ best interests in mind,” said Emily Heitman, President, Schneider Electric Canada. “This investment strengthens our ability to better serve Quebec and the Canadian market.”

The expansion will create new jobs in Quebec and improve lead times for Canadian customers. It also enhances Schneider Electric’s ability to support the country’s energy transition and infrastructure resilience by ensuring that critical components are manufactured closer to where they are needed most.

The ceremony will feature remarks from Doreen Assaad, Mayor of Brossard, Emily Heitman, President of Schneider Electric Canada; and Fredrick Morency, Vice President of Sustainability at Schneider Electric Canada. Their insights will highlight the importance of local manufacturing, sustainability, and innovation in building a more electrified and efficient future for Canada.
