The company said it is more than doubling its production capacity for electric equipment to power critical American infrastructure, such as AI data centers.
FORT WORTH, Texas—Siemens is ramping up investments in the U.S. to support and benefit from America’s industrial tech growth. The U.S. is reported to be the largest market for the company, which also benefits from American talent and American supply chains.
“The industrial tech sector is the basis to boost manufacturing in America and there’s no company more prepared than Siemens to make this future a reality for customers from small and medium sized enterprises to industrial giants,” said Roland Busch, president and CEO of Siemens AG, in a company release.
Recent investments in the company’s U.S. manufacturing footprint and the planned acquisition of Altair, a Michigan-based software company, are reported to amount to more than $10 billion.
In March, Siemens unveiled two state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities for electrical products in Fort Worth, Texas, and Pomona, California. The $285 million investment is expected to create more than 900 skilled manufacturing jobs, while more than doubling Siemens’ production capacity for electric equipment to power critical American infrastructure, such as AI data centers.
The equipment produced at the facilities will support “critical sectors, such as the commercial, industrial, and construction markets, while powering AI data centers all over the country to support America’s leadership in the industrial AI revolution,” the company said in the release.
“We believe in the innovation and strength of America’s industry,” said Busch. “That’s why Siemens has invested over $90 billion in the country in the last 20 years. This year’s investment will bring this number to over $100 billion. We are bringing more jobs, more technology, and a boost to America’s AI capabilities.”
Siemens said it employs more than 45,000 people in the U.S. and is partnering with about 12,000 suppliers nationwide.
In October 2024, Siemens signed an agreement to acquire the multi-faceted engineering simulation software company, Altair. The planned acquisition, along with existing software from Siemens, is expected to create “the world’s most complete AI-powered design and simulation portfolio,” the release stated.
“This will allow users in America and all around the world to design and manufacture more complex and smarter products faster—by simulating in the digital world, first,” Siemens stated in the release. “They could, for example do a virtual crash-test for a new car design; or calculate in advance how a cell phone reacts to drops and thus develop the design optimally, before they build it in the real world. Powerful AI tools help along the way.”
Siemens AG (Berlin and Munich) is a technology company that focuses on industry, infrastructure, mobility, and healthcare. The company’s stated purpose is “to create technology to transform the everyday, for everyone.”
“By combining the real and the digital worlds, Siemens empowers customers to accelerate their digital and sustainability transformations, making factories more efficient, cities more livable, and transportation more sustainable,” the company said in the release.
