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. Operated in partnership with CEVA Logistics, the centre is designed to contribute to Canada’s energy security by ensuring faster and more reliable delivery of essential electrical components and equipment across the country. CEVA’s Halton Hills facility is also among the first of several global locations deploying Manhattan Associate’s Active Warehouse Management and Order Management systems. The advanced platforms accelerate the integration of new technologies for improved operational efficiency —further strengthening Schneider Electric’s supply chain resilience in Canada.
