Gael de la Rochère, Managing Director of Schneider Electric UK, describes some of the initiatives his company has recently put in place for contractors...
Opportunities to make life easier...
None would deny that the past year has presented challenges. Market forces and tough competition have affected manufacturers, wholesalers and contractors alike. For this reason, Schneider Electric has focused upon opening new opportunities for its customers and on making life easier for them, all of which is thanks to a massive innovation investment (more than £350 million invested in R&D each year).
We have an improved and expanded portfolio of products serving the emerging home automation market. Through the Square D brand, its LexCom Home and IHC networking and automation systems have enabled smart homes by making installation easy for contractors. These offers have been further enhanced through the addition of the Clipsal C-bus range of automation products.
Select presents a catalogue of high quality, reasonably priced products, to meet the needs of all electrical contractors. Every day installation products from Clipsal, Merlin Gerin, Mita, Sarel, Square D and Telemecanique brands are now available through a large distribution network.
The Transparent Building Integrated Systems (T-BIS) offer assists architects, building services engineers and contractors by delivering both technical know how and guidance about converging the advanced technologies and products. A building’s entire electrical and mechanical control infrastructure can be equipped through the T-BIS offer.
Schneider Electric is the world's power and control specialist and it offers a comprehensive range of electrical distribution, automation & control products and services for the following markets - Energy & infrastructure, industry, commercial and industrial buildings and the residential market. The three global brands are Merlin Gerin, Square D and Telemecanique and the company is truly global operating in 130 countries.
As a final word, it is apparent that increasingly contractors are turning to the Internet for ideas, information and e-business – often out of normal working hours. Voltimum is therefore seen by Schneider Electric as a vital vehicle to help keep its customers up to date.
