- Stock-exchange listing completes spin-off
of Siemens Energy AG
- Transaction shall create long-term
value for shareholders of both companies
- New Siemens AG to have clear focus on
shaping digital transformation of industry
Siemens has completed its structural realignment and thus successfully
executed a key part of its Vision 2020+ strategy concept. This morning’s
listing in the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange completed
the quotation of Siemens Energy as a leader in the transmission and generation
of electrical power. This step begins a new chapter in the company’s history.
The independent Siemens companies Siemens AG, Siemens Healthineers AG and Siemens
Energy AG will work together within an ecosystem of common interests. In each
case, however, they will focus on the priorities and characteristics of their specific
businesses and industries. With some 240,000 employees, Siemens AG will
primarily concentrate on technologies that are driving advances in the digital
transformation of industry, in smart infrastructure and in sustainable transportation.

- Important milestone for planned Flender listing
- The two Portfolio Companies’ businesses a perfect fit
- Combined company to strengthen global technology leadership
A major milestone on the way to the planned public listing of Flender in 2021 has been reached. Effective today, Siemens Wind Energy Generation (WG) will be part of Siemens AG’s wholly-owned subsidiary Flender GmbH in Germany and thus perfectly complement Flender’s business portfolio. Flender will expand its market-leading position in gear units through the addition of electro-technical expertise in generators for the wind industry, while WG will benefit, among other things, from Flender’s strong position in the wind power sector. The combined company will be a global technology leader with a competitive cost base and an attractive service business. The two units are part of Siemens’ Portfolio Companies, with around 8,500 employees and pro forma revenue of roughly €2 billion.

Around 10.400 young men and women worldwide – thereof around 7,300 in Germany – are currently enrolled in training or two-track programs at Siemens, making the industrial company one of the largest most innovative private providers of such programs in the world. Due to the great success of the German model, Siemens is increasingly offering two-track training, which combines theory and practice, to young people in countries outside Germany, including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, South Africa, India and the UK. These programs offer instruction in a wide range of commercial and, above all, technical fields. Courses are constantly being updated in a targeted fashion to prepare young people for the challenges of the future.Since the training year 2017, Siemens has integrated relevant digitalization topics, such as data analytics, software development and data security, in the company's curricula for all its apprenticeship and work-study programs. Didactic and methodological teaching approaches were also revised to accommodate the digital transformation of the programs’ training content and of the occupational subject matter.
“Occupational training is foundational for our company’s future. One clear focus of our training program is on the responsible use of digital technologies, which are bringing enormous change to the working world and to society. For years now, we’ve been continuously adapting our training programs to new requirements, to digital content and to agile teaching methods in order to keep pace with these changes. In this way, we can ensure that our trainees are well prepared for the future,” said Thomas Leubner, who heads the company’s Learning and Education department.
The success of the training system is also shown by the International Tech Apprenticeship@Siemens (ITA@S) program, which was established in 2012, back then under the name Europeans@Siemens. Young people are being sent to Berlin by the Siemens Regional Companies in their respective countries for dual educational training. In the past few years, however, an increasing number of participants have come from countries outside Europe. Consequently, the program now has a new name: ITA@S.
Since the start of the vocational training in Berlin in 1891 more than 165,000 people have undergone training with Siemens in Germany alone.
Siemens is also blazing new trails when it comes to recruiting trainees. In its “MINTfluencer” social-media campaign, short video clips star Siemens trainees as influencers. The campaign name is a word play on “MINT,” which is the German equivalent of science, technology, education and mathematics (STEM).
