Telemecanique has a rich history and a significant relationship with Schneider Electric. Here are some interesting points:
Founding and Early Innovations
Telemecanique was founded in 1924 when Michel le Goullec acquired Manufacture d’Appareillage Electrique, which later became Télémécanique Electrique. The company quickly became known for its innovation, starting with the invention of the first contactor in 1924, which revolutionized industrial control and automation.
Acquisition by Schneider Electric
In 1988, Schneider Electric acquired Telemecanique. This acquisition was part of Schneider's strategic shift towards focusing on the electricity sector and expanding its capabilities in industrial automation and control.
Continued Innovation
After the acquisition, Telemecanique continued to innovate under Schneider Electric. Notable developments included the Osiris range of photoelectric cells and the integration of web technologies, which led to the first onboard web servers for industrial robots. In 2001, Telemecanique introduced QuickFit technology, which allowed for tool-free and cable-free connections.
Brand Integration
In 2009, Schneider Electric integrated Telemecanique's products, services, and solutions into its own brand as part of its Automation and Control offer. This move was aimed at consolidating Schneider Electric's market position and streamlining its product offerings.
Recent Developments
In 2023, Schneider Electric completed the disposal of its Telemecanique Sensors business to YAGEO. This transaction valued Telemecanique Sensors at €723 million and marked a strategic move by Schneider Electric to focus on its core areas of digital transformation and energy management.
Telemecanique's journey from a pioneering company in industrial control to becoming a key part of Schneider Electric's portfolio highlights its enduring impact on the industry and its continuous drive for innovation.
