Probe into electrical giants
Electrical supplies manufacturers Schneider Electric and Legrand plus distributors Rexel and Sonepar are being investigated by monopolies authorities over price-fixing and corruption.
The companies are world leaders in their markets and an inquiry started in April after a tip-off to competition and anti-corruption agencies following an article on the French news investigation website Mediapart. They could face high fines in the wake of last year’s ‘lino cartel’ where three companies were fined €305million.
