What Other Brands Does Schneider Electric Own?
Schneider Electric owns Square D, which it acquired in 1991, and APC, which it acquired in 2007. It also acquired Merlin Gerin in 1992 and has since retired that name, folding those product lines into the Schneider Electric brand. Read the full Schneider Electric brand history for how those names came together.
Is Schneider Electric the Same as Square D?
Square D is a Schneider Electric brand. In North America, Schneider sells most of its power distribution equipment under the Square D name, which is why the same catalog number can appear under either brand. Panel labeling and UL listing still determine what is approved for a given installation.
Where to Buy Obsolete Schneider Electric and Merlin Gerin Parts
For current production equipment under any of these names, Essential Electric Supply carries in-stock circuit breakers, motor controls, switches, and bus plugs. For older panels, we also stock new, surplus, and hard-to-find replacement parts for discontinued Schneider Electric, Square D, and Merlin Gerin equipment, including components that are no longer available elsewhere.
