Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy technology and sustainability, has officially opened its first manufacturing facility in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, following a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the milestone.
The new facility, spanning more than 500,000 square feet, marks the first phase of a two-part campus expansion in Mt. Juliet. Construction is already underway on the second, adjacent 540,000+ square foot facility. Together, the two sites will produce customized power distribution products designed to strengthen critical infrastructure and meet growing regional demand across key sectors, including data centers, commercial buildings, industrial operations, and public infrastructure.

This expansion enhances Schneider Electric’s ability to support customers, such as the nearby new Nissan Stadium in advancing their energy resilience and reliability goals. The Mt. Juliet facility will focus on manufacturing medium-voltage solutions essential to modern energy systems, including air-insulated switchgear, gas-insulated switchgear, and shielded solid insulation systems.
As part of the announcement, Schneider Electric showcased the milestone alongside customers, Tennessee Department of Veterans Services Commissioner Major General Tommy H. Baker, local government officials, and business leaders from the greater Nashville area. The event also honored its more than 100 U.S. veteran employees in Tennessee as part of the company’s longstanding commitment to supporting new employment opportunities for U.S. veterans and former service members. It also follows Schneider Electric’s launch of a new veteran hiring initiative yesterday to build a mission-ready workforce for critical facilities.
“Accelerating the deployment of innovative products and technologies is essential to powering the future of AI, energy infrastructure, and efficient buildings. Schneider Electric’s strategic expansion in the U.S. strengthens our ability to produce critical components that enhance energy resilience and streamline operations for customers in Tennessee and nationwide,” said Aamir Paul, President of North America Operations, Schneider Electric. “We are proud to recognize the many former U.S. veterans Schneider Electric employs amid this grand opening on Veterans Day, and we are grateful for the support from Volunteer State leaders in helping create impact by empowering all to make the most of our energy and resources.”
“Schneider Electric’s new manufacturing facility represents more than an investment in innovation — it’s a testament to the strength of Tennessee’s workforce and our role in shaping the future of energy in America,” said Tennessee Governor Bill Lee. “I’m grateful to Schneider Electric for their commitment to strengthening infrastructure and creating opportunity for Tennesseans by driving long-term economic growth. We’re proud to stand alongside this leading global company as they continue to invest in our workforce.”
Expanding in Mt. Juliet, alongside one of the company’s major R&D centers in Tennessee and facilities in Franklin and Smyrna, collectively helps to bolster Schneider Electric’s ability to deliver advanced energy management technologies nationwide while strengthening U.S. job growth and supply chains. The company’s Tennessee expansion also comes on the heels of Schneider Electric recently being named as the Official Energy Management Partner of the New Nissan Stadium, future home of the Tennessee Titans, and being recognized today as a Gold Military Friendly employer for 2026. This designation is awarded to organizations demonstrating strong support for Veterans through hiring, retention, advancement, and culture.
Across the U.S., Schneider Electric employs more than 23,000 employees and partners with approximately 40% of Fortune 500 companies. Its products and solutions can be found in four of 10 U.S. homes, 40% of the world’s hospitals, and 40,000 water and wastewater installations in 150 countries. As an employer, Schneider Electric is ranked as one of Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work 2025.
Schneider Electric was also recently named the “World’s Most Sustainable Company 2025” for the second consecutive year by TIME Magazine and Statista. This award comes just six months after being ranked the No. 1 Most Sustainable Corporation in the World by Corporate Knights, and Schneider Electric is the only company to rank first in the Global 100 twice.
