Isolated Power Panel Transition: From Schneider Electric to Bender

Schneider Electric has announced that it will discontinue its isolation panel line, with the last shipments scheduled for December 2025. As part of this strategy, the company has decided to redirect its customers to the Bender brand, a leading provider of electrical safety solutions and isolated electrical systems. This change positions Bender as the leading player in the hospital isolation panel market, ensuring continuity of service for facilities that rely on these systems.

Over the years, Bender has been a supplier of isolation panels to Schneider Electric, offering a full range of solutions for this segment. Recently, Schneider Electric shared its plans to discontinue production and sales of its isolation panels under its brand, with the last shipments expected in December 2025.

To ensure continued service for its customers, Schneider Electric has publicly stated that it will direct customers to Bender for their isolated power panel needs.

“This transition represents an important opportunity for Bender to strengthen its position as a trusted partner for isolated power panels,” said David Knecht, CEO of Bender Inc.

“We are excited to continue working closely with the Schneider Electric teams and our customers during this transition,” said Knecht. “Together, we will ensure that end users continue to receive the reliable, high-quality isolated power panel solutions they have come to rely on.”
