Siemens industrial and technology solutions

Siemens is a global technology powerhouse with a history spanning nearly 180 years. Founded in 1847 by Werner von Siemens and Johann Georg Halske, the brand began as a telegraph construction firm and has evolved into a leader in industrial automation, building infrastructure, and mobility. Today, Siemens operates as a publicly traded multinational conglomerate headquartered in Munich and Berlin, Germany.

Manufacturing for Siemens is decentralized, with approximately 285 production and manufacturing facilities located across the globe. Major manufacturing hubs are found in Germany, China, and the United States, supporting its vast portfolio which includes everything from high-speed trains to smart building software. As of 2026, the company continues to pivot towards 'industrial AI' and software-driven digital twins, maintaining its position as Europe's largest engineering firm. Ownership is primarily held by institutional and private investors, though the Siemens family still retains a significant minority stake of roughly 6.9%, preserving the brand's historical lineage.
