Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, is expanding its Duna Smart Power Systems (DSPS) smart factory in Dunavecse, inaugurated last year. The new facility, with an area of ​​18,000 square meters, will be built with an investment of 44 million euros.

Schneider Electric flexibly adapts its production capacity to meet market demands, while respecting the principle of gradual growth. The new extension of the facility will be dedicated to the production of low-voltage distribution equipment, marking the start of their production at the Hungarian location.

The development will take place exclusively on the 10 hectares of land already owned by Schneider Electric, selected even before the launch of the first phase of DSPS due to its suitability for potential expansion. Last May, the company inaugurated the Duna Smart Power Systems (DSPS) factory in Dunavecse, one of its largest manufacturing facilities in Europe. It serves as the main European production center for its latest SF6-free medium-voltage switchgear, RM AirSeT, as well as medium-voltage air-insulated switchgear, for both the European and global markets.

“As a global industrial technology company, Schneider Electric is a trusted partner in the field of sustainability and energy efficiency through electrification and digitalization. The expansion of our Dunavecse factory responds to the significant demand for low-voltage distribution equipment worldwide,” says Yann Reynaud, Senior Vice President, Global Engineering to Order Operations, Schneider Electric.

In addition to improving sustainability and energy efficiency, the first phase of DSPS was designed for efficient building operation. Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure – an open, interoperable, plug-and-play, IoT-based architecture and platform – is implemented with advanced online monitoring systems and communication network tools to prevent failures and ensure timely interventions.
