February 15, 2024

Schneider et Compagnie, also known as Schneider-Creusot for its birthplace in the french town of Le Creusot, was a historic French iron and steel-mill company which became a major arms manufacturer. In the 1960s, it was taken over by the Belgian Empain group and merged with it in 1969 to form Empain-Schneider, which in 1980 was renamed Schneider SA and in 1999, after much restructuring, Schneider Electric.

Building at 42, rue d'Anjou in Paris, built in 1899 on a design by Ernest-Paul Sanson, head office of Schneider et Compagnie from 1900 to the late 1940s;[1][2] now head office of Banque Palatine
