The beginnings of Siemens and the path to becoming a global brand

Siemens was founded in 1847 by Werner von Siemens and Johann Georg Halske in Berlin. It started out as a workshop for telegraph technology, which quickly developed into a company that played a key role in the electrification of Europe. Siemens recognized early on the potential of electrical energy for industry, transportation, and communication and invested consistently in its own developments. Over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries, Siemens grew into an international corporation that not only supplied products but also helped shape entire infrastructures. Electric generators, tram systems, medical technology, and industrial control technology contributed to Siemens being perceived worldwide as synonymous with technical precision and reliability. These historical roots continue to form the basis for the company's technological orientation today.

Industry, automation, and digital transformation

One of Siemens' core areas of activity is industrial automation and digitalization. The company develops hardware and software solutions that make production processes more efficient, flexible, and transparent. Control systems, drive technology, and industrial software enable companies to automate complex manufacturing processes and optimize them based on data. Siemens plays a particularly important role in the context of Industry 4.0. Digital twins, networked machines, and intelligent production platforms help to shorten development times and use resources in a more targeted manner. Siemens acts not only as a technology supplier, but also as a system integrator for holistic industrial solutions.
