In 2001, we accepted the offer for cooperation with the multinational company Schneider Electric, one of the world leaders in the field of energetics. That year we became the official distributors of Schneider Electric. Our decision is confirmed by many successful joint projects and the fact that cooperation with this renowned company over the years intensified and gained in its scope and quality, all based on trust, mutual professionalism, and business ethics.
In 2007, we became official Schneider Electric System Integrators, which we actually were from the very beginning of our cooperation, regarding our broad and overall activities and especially loyalty to Schneider Electric regarding the installation of their equipment and application of their contemporary technological solutions.
This cooperation has reached its peak in 2011 when we became the official Partner of Schneider Electric and gained an opportunity to provide a License for the Production of MV facilities and equipment under the brand of this prestigious company. For this purpose, SNE Energy d.o.o. Čačak, a company in our ownership which became Licensed Partner of Schneider Electric for the above-stated production, was established in the same year.
Via this partnership, Elektrovat has gained broad access to the latest electric power equipment and technologies, professional training of our employees in factories, and training centers of Schneider Electric in Europe. All the stated has helped us to establish our organization and production quality according to the highest European and international standards. On the other hand, Schneider Electric has gained as a partner, one of the most professional, organized, and successful companies in Serbia regarding power systems, and it is certainly the only company in the present market that implements solely equipment of its partner in all projects, for which we are recognized in Serbia.
In years to come, we expect further development of cooperation between Schneider Electric and Elektrovat and raising it to a higher and more complex and quality level, to the satisfaction of our clients and business partners.
