Introduction to Siemens' Expansion
Siemens has made a significant investment of over $165 million in the Carolinas to support the rapidly growing AI and data center markets in the United States. This investment is part of the company's efforts to increase its US manufacturing capacity and meet the rising demand for low and medium voltage products.
Expanded Facilities in North and South Carolina
The new and expanded sites in North and South Carolina will enable Siemens to produce and deliver essential electrical products more quickly. In North Carolina, two new all-electric, carbon-neutral facilities will be established, one in Raleigh and one in Wendell. The Raleigh facility will assemble Siemens' integrated power delivery solutions, while the Wendell facility will localize production of medium voltage protection and automation devices.
