Siemens announced that it reached $1 billion in U.S. manufacturing investments to support industry, infrastructure and transportation over the past five years. The company expects these projects to come online throughout 2026.

The expanding footprint supports various markets, including data centers and AI factories, healthcare, passenger rail, semiconductors and utilities. Key investments include:

  • Electrical equipment manufacturing in North and South Carolina: Siemens invested $165 million to expand two existing facilities and introduce three new sites to support accelerating AI and data center markets.
  • Data center infrastructure manufacturing in Fort Worth, Texas: $190 million invested in a new 500,000-square-foot facility to scale production of critical electrical infrastructure, such as low-voltage switchboards.
  • New passenger rail manufacturing hub in Lexington, North Carolina: The $220 million greenfield manufacturing facility is building passenger rail coaches for the U.S.
  • Expanded electrical infrastructure manufacturing in Pomona, California: The $95 million investment in both a new greenfield manufacturing site and existing facility upgrades create a combined 146,000-square-foot campus for low-voltage electrical equipment production.

Siemens expects the investments to introduce more than 2,200 jobs by 2028. The new roles span jobs in advanced manufacturing, skilled trades, engineering and logistics.

The facilities integrate the company’s industrial software and automation technologies to create production environments in the age of artificial intelligence. Using Siemens Digital Industries Software solutions such as Technomatix, the company has deployed 3D digital twins across its manufacturing footprint to simulate, validate and commission production processes. Siemens Insights Hub then delivers real-time operational dashboards that provide transparency into machine performance and overall operational effectiveness in the company’s factories.

Additionally, the new and expanded facilities in California, Illinois, Texas, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York and the Carolinas align with energy efficient manufacturing. Select carbon neutral facilities, all-electric operations, on-site PV microgrid systems and integrated EV chargers will support Siemen's commitment to becoming a net-zero carbon company by 2030.
