The hottest Schneider Electric leads the power dis

Schneider Electric leads China's power distribution trend

[China's electrification originated from the first electric lamp lit in Shanghai in 1879, and Schneider Electric, founded as early as 1836, entered the emerging electrical market in 1891. About a century later, 1987 was a year of special significance for both. In this year, China's power generation equipment capacity exceeded 100million kW for the first time, and Schneider Electric, which has refocused its strategic focus on the electrical field since the 1980s, established its first in China in this year A joint venture factory, Tianjin Meilan Rilan. In 1988, when China's power generation exceeded 500billion kW h for the first time, a Chinese young man named Cao Wei joined Tianjin Meilan Rilan and began the journey of contributing wisdom to the progress, promotion and application of China's power distribution technology. In the twinkling of an eye, more than 20 years have passed, and China's electrification level has rapidly risen to the world's leading level. Schneider Electric's business in China has advanced by leaps and bounds, making outstanding contributions to the improvement of China's distribution technology application level. For more than 20 years, Cao Wei has been working in the field of power distribution in Schneider Electric China. His career is booming. In 2008, he became the vice president of Schneider Electric China, who is in charge of the company's power distribution and electrical business department for equipment manufacturers of recycled plastic granulators. Recently, Schneider Electric is changing from an expert in power and control to an expert in energy efficiency management, but the core position of the distribution business in the company and its leading position in the world have been strengthened. In 2009, the sales revenue of the company's distribution reached 9.233 billion euros, accounting for more than 58% of the total revenue. In June, 2010, Schneider Electric completed the acquisition of the power distribution business of Areva power transmission and distribution, the world's third largest power transmission and distribution supplier, and the core position of power distribution in its new positioning as a global energy efficiency management expert will be further strengthened. Like the leading position in the world, Schneider Electric's distribution business in China, which Cao Wei is responsible for, is the leader in the Chinese market. At the Xi'an station of Schneider Electric 2010 solutions summit in early June, he had an exchange with Cao Wei on the topic of power distribution.]

with the development of China's electrification industry

Schneider Electric, which has worked for more than 20 years, has a long history and has deep roots in China. Since its establishment in 1836, Schneider Electric has been one of the industrial pioneers in Europe and the world. In 1891, Schneider Electric began to enter the emerging electrical market at that time. Since the 1980s, Schneider Electric has gradually separated from non electric business, focused its strategic focus on the electrical field, and has rapidly grown into a leading electrical technology supplier in the world, especially in the field of low-voltage distribution, The recently completed acquisition of Areva's power distribution business has greatly enhanced the company's strength in the medium voltage field

the relationship between Schneider Electric and China can be traced back to the early 20th century. When Deng Xiaoping, the chief designer of China's reform and opening up, studied in France in his early years, he worked in the factory of Schneider Electric's predecessor. In 1979, Schneider Electric participated in the construction of China's first ultra-high voltage transmission line. In the 1980s, Schneider Electric brought the circuit breaker to China to replace the traditional fuse, made outstanding contributions to the establishment of the circuit breaker standard, and greatly improved the safety of power consumption in China

since Schneider Electric officially entered the Chinese market in 1987 and Cao Wei joined Schneider Electric China in 1988, earth shaking changes have taken place in China's economy and electrification. China's GDP has increased from 1.2 trillion yuan in 1987 to 33.5 trillion yuan in 2009. In the same period, China's power generation has increased from 497.3 billion kw h to 3714.7 billion kw h, an increase of 6.5 times. During this period, as a distribution system directly connected to users and distributing electric energy to users in the power system, Schneider Electric has made increasingly outstanding contributions to the great development of China's distribution system. Today, Schneider Electric has 15000 employees in China (99% of whom are local employees), 77 offices, 22 factories, 6 logistics centers, 1 Research Institute, 2 global R & D centers, 1 Laboratory, 500 distributors and sales networks all over the country

Cao Wei's personal career has developed rapidly with the development of China's distribution system and Schneider Electric's business in China. Cao Wei received a bachelor's degree in engineering from Nanjing Institute of Aeronautics in 1985, a master's degree in international economics from the school of economics of Nankai University in 1987, and an MBA from City University in 2003. In 1988, Cao Wei started as an engineer in Tianjin Meilan Zilan, a Schneider Electric joint venture, and successively served as manager assistant, sales manager and deputy general manager. In 1999, Cao Wei was promoted to the director of the distribution electrical products Department of Schneider Electric China. In 2004, after the company's organizational adjustment, he was appointed the director of the industrial/civil construction marketing department of Schneider Electric China. In 2008, Cao Wei became the vice president of Schneider Electric China, fully responsible for the distribution electrical business department

Schneider Electric has always attached great importance to the training of local talents. Cao Wei, vice president in charge of nearly 60% of Schneider Electric's business in China, is a prominent example. Of course, many local employees play an important role in key positions of Schneider Electric China. For example, in September 2009, Zhu Hai was appointed as the first local president of Schneider Electric China in more than 20 years. Zhu Hai and Cao Wei's growth is almost synchronized with China's reform and opening up. They have a deep understanding of the Chinese market and an international business vision. Such talents are undoubtedly Schneider Electric's great wealth in China

help China develop vigorously

the growth rate of Chinese local employees represented by Cao Wei is highly consistent with the development rate of Schneider Electric in China. By 2007, China has become Schneider Electric's second largest market in the world. Recently, Schneider Electric's development speed in China is still quite strong

according to the current business division of Schneider Electric in Western Europe, North America, Asia Pacific and other four regions, the Asia Pacific region with China as the main body is becoming the region with the most development potential of Schneider Electric. In 2009, Schneider Electric's sales revenue in the Asia Pacific region was 3.306 billion euros, accounting for 20.9% of the global sales revenue of 15.793 billion euros. In the first quarter of 2010, the sales revenue of the Asia Pacific region was 888million euros, accounting for 22.7% of the world, an increase of 1.8 percentage points over 2009. In the first quarter of 2010, the Asia Pacific region led by China became the absolute main force of Schneider Electric's global growth. In that quarter, Schneider Electric's global sales revenue increased by 2%, while Western Europe, North America and other regions showed a slight decline, while the growth rate of the Asia Pacific Region was as high as 23%

the distribution business in China in the charge of Cao Wei is one of the strongest driving forces for Schneider Electric's global business development. In the first quarter of 2010, the sales volume of Schneider Electric distribution business was 2.211 billion euros, accounting for 56% of the total revenue. The investment in infrastructure and buildings in Asia, the rebound in industrial demand, and the investment in natural resources in key markets in the region to achieve sustainable development have all played a positive role in promoting the distribution business. Strong growth in the Asia Pacific region, domestic industrial demand and the government's favorable policies on infrastructure construction have led China to achieve sustained profits and growth

in view of the importance of the Chinese market, Schneider Electric's headquarters in Asia Pacific region has been moved to Beijing in 2010. On May 18, the relocation ceremony of Schneider Electric Asia Pacific and China headquarters was held at the new site of Beijing Wangjing Science and technology park. This important step marks a new starting point for the development of Schneider Electric in China, and also shows Schneider Electric's commitment. 1. First record the initial position of the cross arm of the machine, and select the speed value on the control panel (measure the cross arm travel with a standard straight steel ruler) The mission and commitment to help more Chinese customers move towards energy conservation and efficiency improvement. Hong Anli, global executive vice president and President of Asia Pacific region of Schneider Electric, said that the relocation of the Asia Pacific Center to Beijing will further enhance the leadership of the Chinese market and is a new milestone in China's strategy

Zhu Hai, President of Schneider Electric China, said that in the three-year new company transformation plan implemented by Schneider Electric since 2009, Schneider Electric China has invested a lot of resources to transform to a comprehensive solution supplier. The relocation of all entities to one place marks the completion of a new corporate structure of Schneider Electric. In the future, the design and manufacture of the company's products will be completely based on the requirements of instrument distributed control. Neder Electric will continue to uphold the purpose of customer first and give full play to the pillar role of a team; At the same time, by sorting out the products of the whole line, we will build a complete, efficient and innovative solution, and unify the brands of the whole line as Schneider Electric brand, so as to provide a higher level of services for China's energy conservation and emission reduction and energy conservation and efficiency improvement of Chinese users

to this end, from May, the Schneider Electric 2010 solution summit will be held successively in Guangzhou, Chengdu, Xi'an, Nanjing, Shenyang and Beijing. Schneider Electric's 2010 solutions summit covers five major markets: Schneider Electric's energy and infrastructure, industry, data centers and networks, buildings and residences. In addition to sub forums for different industries, it will also help Chinese customers have an in-depth understanding of Schneider Electric's innovative energy-saving and efficiency enhancing solutions through more than 40 booths. Each stop of Schneider Electric 2010 solutions summit lasts for 3 days, and dozens of sub forums are held for customers in dozens of different industries. About 3000 people from the government, users in the industry, partners and so on participate in the event

at the 2010 solutions summit, Schneider Electric also launched ecostruxure energy efficiency management system, which integrates professional experience in five fields: power, industry, building, data center and security. It aims to provide customers with integrated solutions that can create an integrated energy management system across all application fields, and help customers create a simpler, transparent and economical intelligent energy management system. With the help of this system, the energy use of enterprises is more transparent.
