Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, is investing £42 million in a new manufacturing facility in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.

The new facility at Scarborough Business Park will be built by Caddick Construction. Schneider Electric will act as anchor tenant, having relocated from its existing facility just 500m away.

More than 200 jobs will be created to meet the increased demand for electrical equipment to drive the UK’s move to cleaner energy including renewable energy sources, electric vehicles, and intelligent, energy-efficient buildings.
