Schneider Electric Canada Opens New Canadian Headquarters and EcoFit™ Center in Milton, Ontario

March 2, 2026

New site strengthens national innovation, circularity, and proudly Canadian manufacturing

Schneider Electric Canada announces the grand opening of its new Canadian head office and EcoFit™ Center in Milton, Ontario.

The new headquarters, which relocated from Mississauga, consolidates multiple sites into a modern, collaborative hub designed to support R&D, software services, training, and back-office operations. The location also becomes home to the newly relocated EcoFit™ Center Canada—an advanced facility dedicated to modernization, circularity, and extending the life of electrical infrastructure across the country.

With over 35 sites nationwide, Schneider Electric continues to design, build, and support solutions that are proudly made in Canada for Canadians. The new EcoFit™ Center enhances the company’s ability to deliver modernization services with faster turnaround, enhanced diagnostics, and reduced environmental impact.

“This new headquarters represents a significant investment in our people, our customers, and Canada’s energy future,” said Emily Heitman, President of Schneider Electric Canada. “By bringing our teams together under one roof in Milton, we are strengthening our ability to innovate, collaborate, and deliver sustainable, resilient solutions. The addition of our expanded EcoFit Center reinforces our commitment to circularity and proudly Canadian manufacturing.”

Government and community leaders also recognize the importance of Schneider Electric’s investment in Milton’s growing innovation ecosystem.

“Milton is proud to welcome Schneider Electric’s new Canadian headquarters and EcoFit Center,” said Mayor Gordon Krantz, Town of Milton. “This facility strengthens our local economy, supports job creation, and reinforces Milton’s role as a hub for clean energy innovation. Schneider Electric’s commitment to sustainability and Canadian-made solutions aligns with our community’s vision for long-term growth and prosperity.”

Established in 2006, the EcoFit™ Center Canada has been a cornerstone of Schneider Electric’s service operations for nearly 20 years, offering cutting-edge modernization solutions and technical support across 20+ locations nationwide. The facility specializes in low- and medium-voltage modernization, switchgear and UPS retrofits, PLC and drives upgrades, and circularity-focused services that extend the life of electrical assets. The facility maintains leading certifications including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, UL508A, and CSA Z‑N299 compliance.

More Information on the project from Inviro, who provided electrification-ready engineering supporting advanced manufacturing, EV charging, electric HVAC systems, and future energy integration.
