Schneider-Creusot, or Schneider et Cie, was a historic French iron and steel-mill which became a major arms manufacturer. After World War II, it evolved into Schneider Electric.
Origins[]
A Schneider Creusot 030-T steam locomotive
In 1836, iron ore mines and forges around Le Creusot were bought by Adolphe Schneider and his brother Eugène Schneider. They developed a business in steel, railways, armaments, and shipbuilding.[1]
The Creusot steam hammer was built in 1877.
Somua was a subsidiary; it made machinery and vehicles, including the SOMUA S35.
