- Founded in Berlin on February 8,
1902
- One of first corporate press offices
in Germany
On this day,
120 years ago, Siemens’ Central Press Office was founded in Berlin – making
Siemens one of the first German companies to professionalize its press work. This
development was preceded by a conference on the company’s “literary affairs,”
at which participants complained of an “increasing dispersion of Siemens’
newspaper, advertising and news activities.” The solution was to establish a
Central Press Office, and a Circular was issued on February 8, 1902, to
officially announce this step.
