Schneider Electric increases production capacity at its largest data center factory in Europe

Schneider Electric has significantly scaled the manufacturing and production capacity of its Barcelona prefabricated data center factory – increasing it from 7,000 sqm to 12,000 sqm in response to accelerated customer demand for prefabricated, high-compute workload data center solutions.

Headquartered in Barcelona, the factory and large-scale logistics center, which is one of the primary European locations for the design, production, and integration of Schneider Electric’s portfolio, now provides an additional 5000 sqm of dedicated, production space.

Driven by customer demands for high-compute workloads and artificial intelligence (AI), which according to PWC Global, could contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy in 2030, the facility is now the largest manufacturing site for Schneider Electric’s prefabricated modular data centers in Europe.

Further, the investment has enabled the company to double the end-to-end production, integration, testing and output capabilities for both its all-in-one modular data centers and prefabricated power modules. This includes key powertrain components such as three-phase uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), low (LV) and medium-voltage (MV) equipment, circuit breakers and switchgear.
