Brad Forth, Power Measurement president and CEO, will lead Schneider Electric’s Power Monitoring and Control (PMC) initiative as vice president, PMC, from the group’s headquarters in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
“As a key part of Schneider Electric’s global operation, we now offer our customers the world’s largest range of power and energy-management solutions, integrated seamlessly with Schneider Electric’s full line of power protection, monitoring and control equipment,” said Forth. “By adding Power Measurement’s ION technology to Schneider Electric’s PowerLogic product line, we offer an expanded and enhanced world-class solution to energy suppliers and consumers for managing the cost, quality and reliability of their power.”
