‘Schneider is On’
Schneider Electric introduced its new company strategy to
South Africa’s online and traditional media representatives
at its recent annual media forum. Called ‘Schneider is On’,
it focuses on five key priorities to follow in order to achieve
the company’s 2020 vision. These are: Do More, Digitise,
Innovate, Step Up, and Simplify. “Our ambition is to serve
our customers better by listening more closely to them, thus
understanding their challenges and aligning our actions with
their needs accordingly,” said Eric Leger, country president
for southern Africa at Schneider Electric.
“With this programme, we start a new chapter in the evolu-
tion of our organisation,” added Leger.

Transformer and HighVoltage Customer Symposium
Global and local Siemens experts hosted over 180 technicians, engineers and specialists from Eskom, the local municipalities as well as the
private mining sector, at their annual Transformer and High Voltage Customer Symposium, at their head office in Midrand, 19 – 20 May 2015.
The symposium gave engineers the opportunity to see the latest technologies, network with other experts in the industry as well as discuss chal-
lenges and solutions for the future. This promotes new technology and allows for further innovation. Ronnie Naidoo, head of transformers and
HV products, energy management, Siemens Southern and East Africa says: “The engagement of engineers in various fields allows a free flow of
information sharing that stimulates growth and relationships and improves the sector in which we so actively participate.”
