Industry: Siemens expands electrical production for data centers in the USA
Siemens is investing more than $200 million in two new US data center facilities. The company is creating 1,500 jobs and is betting on the AI boom.
Munich. The Munich-based technology group Siemens is building two new plants in the USA for the electrical equipment of data centers. Siemens will invest more than $200 million in the two factories in Pendergrass, Georgia, and in Grand Prairie, Texas, Siemens announced on Friday. This will create 1,500 jobs. "With these investments in the United States, we are strengthening our position to support the expansion of AI and help customers realize data centers that are both AI-capable and efficient and resilient," said CEO Roland Busch.
In the first nine months, orders in Siemens' data center business had more than doubled to €6 billion.
In the two new plants, Siemens will produce systems for the distribution, monitoring, and control of power supply in highly complex systems with high energy consumption. This will enable customers to expand their capacities while ensuring operational reliability, react flexibly to load fluctuations, and use energy and equipment more efficiently, the statement said.
