Usines Schneider, Industrial factory complex in Le Creusot, France
The Schneider factories encompass extensive manufacturing facilities with multiple buildings dedicated to metal production and machinery manufacturing in eastern France.
Founded between 1848 and 1870, the Schneider factories transformed a small glassworks site into a major industrial center with 14 blast furnaces producing 100,000 tons of iron.
The factory administration established educational programs, medical care facilities, and retirement benefits for workers, shaping the social structure of Le Creusot.
Located at 750 Avenue de l'Europe, the industrial site connects to the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranean railway network, facilitating transportation and logistics operations.
The factory complex features 140 furnaces and 14 steam hammers, demonstrating the scale of 19th-century French industrial capabilities.
