[{"type":"text","content":" RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA, May 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Schneider Electric, the global energy technology partner, today marks the tenth anniversary of Saudi Vision 2030 by announcing its commitment to nearly tripling its Saudi manufacturing capacity to 32 production lines by 2030, reinforcing its position as one of the Kingdom's most deeply invested international industrial partners across manufacturing, digital infrastructure, clean energy, and human capital development. The announcement comes as Saudi Arabia celebrates a decade of measurable national transformation. With over 44 years of uninterrupted presence in the Kingdom since 1981, more than 8,000 government and private sector clients, and more than 350 certified partners. Schneider Electric has been an active delivery partner across every major pillar of Vision 2030, from industrial manufacturing and grid modernization to smart buildings, data centers, and digital operations. Schneider Electric today operates three manufacturing facilities in Riyadh and Dammam, covering more than 35,000 square metres of production and logistics space. The company's newest facility, built within King Salman Energy Park in the Eastern Region, was designed from the ground up to reduce energy consumption by 33% and carbon emissions by 34% compared to conventional industrial construction. An adjacent 7,000 square metre IoT-enabled distribution center in Riyadh serves the company's partner network across the Kingdom. Products manufactured in Saudi Arabia include the Galaxy UPS critical power system, Prisma low-voltage switchboards, Acti9 Disbo residential distribution boards, Lauritz Knudsen low-voltage switchgear, McSet medium-voltage switchgear, WS-G Medium Voltage GIS switchgear and HVX / EVO Pact Medium Voltage Vacuum Circuit breaker. These products are not manufactured for local consumption alone. They compete in global supply chains, representing a Saudi industrial capability that extends well beyond the Kingdom's borders. The commitment to nearly triple production lines to 32 by 2030 represents one of the most concrete private sector manufacturing scale-up commitments made in alignment with Vision 2030's industrial localization agenda.Global demand for data center capacity is projected to quadruple between 2023 and 2030, with Saudi Arabia positioning itself as the regional hub for thi...
