en.Wedoany.com Reported - Schneider Electric and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) announced that the company's supply chain factory in the United States has received certification under NEMA's "Make it American" domestic content certification program.

NEMA's "Make it American" certification program aims to help its members provide products that comply with the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA). The BABA Act, established under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, requires that all iron and steel products, manufactured goods, and construction materials used in federally funded infrastructure projects meet domestic content requirements. This certification comes as Schneider Electric plans to invest $700 million in domestic manufacturing and energy technology.

Schneider Electric began seeking NEMA's "Make it American" process certification (facility tracking) starting last year at its Fairfield, Ohio factory. In May 2025, the Fairfield factory became one of the first in the United States to receive this certification. According to Schneider Electric, more than 20 of its factories in the U.S. have now been certified and listed on NEMA's "Make it American" BABA registry.

These certified factories produce critical electrical equipment such as low-voltage and medium-voltage switchgear, circuit breakers, variable frequency drives, and motor control centers. The factories are located across multiple states, including California, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.

For customers procuring equipment for federally funded projects, this certification demonstrates the company's ability to deliver products that meet BABA domestic content requirements, thereby satisfying federal aid program regulations. Kelly Becker, President of Schneider Electric's North America Operations, stated that the growth of artificial intelligence and unprecedented energy demand have brought the U.S. industry to a turning point. Alongside this certification, Becker has been appointed to the NEMA Board of Directors, where he will assist the organization in developing policy advocacy, legal actions, workforce solutions, and operational strategies.
