In today's "always on, always available" world where businesses can't stop and downtime is measured in dollars, American Power Conversion (APC) provides protection against some of the leading causes of downtime, data loss and hardware damage: power problems and temperature. As a global leader in network-critical physical infrastructure (NCPI) solutions, APC sets the standard in its industry for quality, innovation and support. Its comprehensive solutions, which are designed for both home and corporate environments, improve the manageability, availability and performance of sensitive electronic, network, communications and industrial equipment of all sizes.

From corporate headquarters in West Kingston, RI, APC operates sales offices throughout the world and manufacturing facilities on three continents. Together, APC’s global teams work to fulfill their mission of creating delighted customers. To do this, the Company focuses its efforts on four primary application areas: Home/Small Office; Business Networks; Data Centers and Facilities; and Access Provider Networks.

Known for its quality, innovation and industry leading service and support, APC has perhaps the longest list of accolades in its industry. Not satisfied with this, APC is working diligently to achieve its corporate mission of creating delighted customers by improving the manageability, availability and performance of information and communication systems through the rapid delivery of innovative solutions to real customer problems.
On February 14, 2007, APC and Schneider Electric announced the completion of their merger.
