Schneider Electric, the global pioneer in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, hosted Texas State Senator César Blanco (D-El Paso) at its El Paso campus.

Senator César J. Blanco toured the company’s new 160,000-square-foot smart manufacturing facility, currently under construction, and met with company leaders to discuss workforce development opportunities at the El Paso campus.

El Paso campus expansion

Schneider Electric’s expansion of its El Paso campus will create approximately 400 new job opportunities, making the company one of the largest employers in the region.

Located in the city’s Northwest Corporate Center, the new factory will be Schneider’s fourth in the city and its 20th in the U.S.

Largest manufacturing operation

The facility will produce “engineer-to-order” low-voltage switchboards that distribute electricity

The facility will make El Paso home to Schneider Electric’s largest manufacturing operation in the U.S. and strengthen the company’s regional capabilities for its customers, part of a $100 million regional investment to increase production and speed the delivery of electrical products to customers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The facility will produce “engineer-to-order” or intricately designed and customized low voltage switchboards that distribute electricity, for example, in commercial buildings and data centers. It is expected to be completed by the first half of the year with initial shipments to follow soon thereafter.
