For Siemens, Germany is both a stable factor as a home market and one of the
company’s most important locations worldwide for production, research and
development. With around 114,000 employees, Siemens numbers among the
biggest private employers in the country. And with roughly 10,000 trainees at
present, Siemens is also one of the biggest private training companies in Germany.
With its nationwide coverage and backed by around 14,000 employees in sales and
service, Siemens serves over 150,000 customers in Germany, primarily small- and
medium-sized enterprises.

In 2015, Siemens handed over the four offshore wind power plants DanTysk,
Butendiek, Baltic II and Borkum Riffgrund 1 to customers. Siemens is thus the clear
Number 1 for offshore wind power in Germany. Beginning in mid-2017, the company
will produce nacelles for a new generation of wind turbines in Cuxhaven. Siemens is
investing around EUR 200 million in the new factory.

The Rhine-Ruhr region is the biggest metropolitan area in Germany. Starting in
2018, the new Rhine-Ruhr Express – considered as the region’s “Project of the
Century” – will help ease the growing transport problems. The joint venture heading
the project awarded Siemens a contract to deliver 82 electric trainsets and provide
their maintenance for 32 years. Worth EUR 1.7 billion, the order is the biggest
Siemens has received to date for regional rail transport in Germany.
·
Early on, Siemens recognized that digitalization is the strongest growth lever in
industry, and is rigorously expanding its portfolio to provide a complete and
integrated offering along the entire industrial value chain. At the 2015 Hanover
Messe, for example, Siemens demonstrated how flexibility can be increased in
production: In a so-called multi-carrier system, individually controllable, selfpropelled transport vehicles driven by linear motors can move different-sized goods
in one machine. With the help of industrial software from Siemens and this
innovative multi-carrier system, machines can be designed and built for costefficient, individual serial production up to batch size one.
·
In the spring of 2015, the Siemens H-Class gas turbine began operation on
schedule at the Lausward combined cycle power plant in Düsseldorf. With an
electrical output of 595 megawatts and an efficiency of over 61 percent, the
Lausward plant set new records.
·
On October 12, 1847, Werner von Siemens and Johann Georg Halske founded
“Telegraphen-Bauanstalt von Siemens & Halske” in Berlin, laying the cornerstone for
today’s Siemens AG. On December 13, 2016, Siemens will celebrate the 200 th
anniversary of founder Werner von Siemens’ birth.
