With today’s commercial buildings accounting for 40% of global energy consumption and over 30% of their energy wasted, the launch of FlexSeT in the country supports Schneider Electric’s strategic priority of hero launch products that aim to rethink the traditional oversized electrical equipment to save on both revenue and energy.

Guillevin International Inc., mentioned, “We are recognized across Canada for our service and expertise, with Schneider Electric’s FlexSeT assembly, Guillevin will have the fastest response time in the industry. Our FlexSeT dedicated assembly team was trained by Schneider Electric, to build switchboards with all quality control needed to meet the highest certification requirements. Additionally, we are proud to offer FlexSeT to customers across the country with the ability to deliver projects in days that would traditionally take months to produce.”

This announcement reaffirms the commitment of both companies, which have been partners for the past 5 decades, since 1971, to offer the best solutions and services in the Electric Power and Distribution segments in the Canadian market. By combining their expertise and innovation, the two companies aim to deliver world-class products that meet evolving customer needs, ensuring optimal performance and satisfaction throughout the product lifecycle.
