In line with corporate strategy, "SchneiderElectric" stepped into acquisitions so that it would develop integrative solutions which will connect all our products. One of the acquisitions is "Telvent" thanx to which we today have complete solution for management of systems in electric distribution companies– Damljanovic outlined.

Licensed partnerships as the highest form of cooperation, "Schneider Electric" in Serbia has so far achieved with three companies which ADMS software integrates.

They are "Elnos" which produces compact installation and concrete transfer stations in Batajnica then "SNE Energy" from Cacak which produces mid-voltage blocks and Belgrade-based "Melpo" which produces cassette facilities of low-voltage in Dobanovci.
