Schneider Electric Canada Inaugurates a New Production Line in Brossard, Quebec

June 8, 2025

Schneider Electric Canada announces the expansion of its facility in Brossard, Quebec. This strategic development includes the addition of a new production line dedicated to the local manufacturing of Schneider Electric’s advanced electrical equipment and power distribution devices—essential components for the electrification of buildings, hospitals, data centers, and infrastructure across Canada.

The expansion will create new jobs in Quebec and improve delivery times for Canadian customers. It also enhances Schneider Electric’s ability to support the country’s energy transition and infrastructure resilience by ensuring the local production of critical components.

The new production line creates 70 more jobs and increases Schneider’s production capacity by 30%.

This major milestone was celebrated during an inauguration 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 globally, we make decisions locally in the best interest of our customers,” said Emily Heitman, President of Schneider Electric Canada. “This investment strengthens our ability to better serve Quebec and the Canadian market.”

The ceremony featured speeches by Doreen Assaad, Mayor of Brossard; Marie Lapierre, Consul General of France in Montreal; Emily Heitman, President of Schneider Electric Canada; and Fredrick Morency, VP of Sustainability, Strategic Initiatives & Innovation. Their remarks highlighted the importance of local manufacturing, sustainability, and innovation in building a more electrified and efficient future for Canada.
