Christian Wiest, Executive Vice-President of Schneider Electric’s International Operating Division, commented: “The acquisition of Marisio significantly strengthens our position in Chile and the neighbouring countries of South America. It reinforces the solutions portfolio that we offer to our customers in one of the most promising regions of the world.”
