I always thought of Schneider Electric as a German-based company, but apparently, it's French :o
On the more interesting side, they've been piling on acquisitions recently in the industrial space (Cognite Holding: data and AI for industry).
I'm guessing they're gearing up for a more aggressive fight in the industrial space with Autodesk, Siemens, SAP, and Dassault.
