Schneider Electric South Africa has formed an in-house team of specialists to focus on growing the contractor segment of its business. According to Nico van der Merwe, manager of the LifeSpace business at Schneider Electric South Africa, electrical contractors are a critical part of the strategy for successful implementation of the company’s products and solutions in the marketplace. “The reason for the initiative is to ensure that Schneider Electric South Africa is aligned with expectations from both the marketplace and the contractor segment in order to complement and add value to business as well as to introduce new technologies where a need is identified.”
