Schneider-Creusot

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
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.

The Creusot steam hammer was built in 1877.

Somua was a subsidiary; it made machinery and vehicles, including the SOMUA S35.
