New Distribution Centre in Halton Hills: Schneider Makes Strategic Investment to Support Canadian Supply Chain & Local Operations

Schneider Electric has officially opened a new 130,000 square-foot distribution centre in Halton Hills, Ontario. This strategic investment strengthens Schneider Electric’s Canadian operations by improving delivery timelines and contributing to national energy sustainability.

Located at 6 Cleve Court in Georgetown, the facility will serve customers across commercial, industrial, residential, and infrastructure sectors.
