Schneider Electric Expands El Paso, Texas, Operations

03/16/2025
Schneider Electric USA, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Schneider Electric SE, plans to expand its operations in El Paso, Texas. The project is expected to create 300 jobs.

The company will increase manufacturing capacity for medium-voltage switchgear critical to the data center market at its existing campus in the Northwest Corporate Center.

"Today’s announcement underscores our commitment to next-generation manufacturing in the U.S. as demand for electrification, digitalization, and automation rises,” said Schneider Electric North America Operations President Aamir Paul. “With our growing local supply base, Schneider Electric is well-positioned to play a leading role in shaping a more energy-efficient America, and we are proud to work with state leaders like Governor Greg Abbott and invest responsibly in Texas to accomplish this ambitious goal.”

To support the project Schneider Electric USA will receive a Texas Enterprise Fund grant of $1.5 million.

“'Made in Texas' is a powerful global brand,” noted Governor Gregg Abbott. “This significant new investment by Schneider Electric in El Paso will create 300 new, good-paying jobs for hardworking Texans and showcases our state’s leadership in advanced manufacturing and technological innovation. Companies invest and expand in Texas because of our unmatched business-friendly climate, reasonable regulations, and highly skilled and growing workforce. I look forward to seeing continued success for Schneider as we work together to build a stronger, more prosperous Texas than ever before.”

Schneider Electric USA offers a range of products and services, including energy management, industrial automation, building systems, and digital cloud-based platform services.

"Schneider Electric’s multi-million-dollar expansion in El Paso is a strong vote of confidence in our skilled workforce and the business-friendly environment we’ve built here,” added Borderplex Alliance CEO Jon Barela. “Their decision to invest in the Borderplex region again — after previous successes — shows how well our region supports companies aiming to grow. This step forward bolsters our economy and reinforces the Borderplex as an attractive hub for innovative businesses.”
