Schneider Electric broadens security offering

As demand rises for more unified building management systems across the Pacific, Schneider Electric is partnering with security solutions company Gallagher Security to integrate enterprise-grade physical security into its digital buildings platform.

“This partnership reflects our commitment to delivering fully integrated building systems,” said Louise Monger, Vice President, Digital Buildings, Schneider Electric.

It strengthens our ability to deliver true end-to-end building outcomes while supporting continued growth in our projects and services business.”

Schneider Electric said the partnership would support its systems growth strategy by expanding its security capability and strengthening its position in connected building solutions. Additionally, the collaboration opens access to new market segments and project tiers, particularly in the Pacific where Gallagher Security has established a presence.

“As projects become more complex, customers are looking for tighter integration between security, building management and energy systems,” said Scott Johnstone, National Sales Manager – Australia, Gallagher Security.

“By aligning our security expertise with Schneider Electric’s building management and energy capabilities, we can help customers implement smarter, more connected environments that enhance operational performance, safety and resilience.”
