Siemens invests $165 million to expand U.S. manufacturing for AI infrastructure
The
investment will expand Siemens’ manufacturing footprint across North and South
Carolina, creating more than 350 new jobs and accelerating production of
critical electrical technologies used in data centers and AI factories.
“Artificial
intelligence is rapidly becoming core economic infrastructure”, said Roland
Busch, President and CEO of Siemens AG. “By expanding our manufacturing
capacity in the United States, Siemens is helping build the backbone that will
enable the next wave of industrial AI.”
“These
investments expand our ability to deliver the electrical backbone that powers
the AI economy,” said Ruth Gratzke, President of Siemens Smart Infrastructure
U.S. “As demand for AI infrastructure accelerates, customers need partners who
can scale manufacturing quickly while ensuring reliability, efficiency, and
speed of deployment.”
As AI data
centers scale rapidly, they are pushing power demand, density, and reliability
requirements to unprecedented levels. Every layer of these facilities depends
on highly reliable electrical infrastructure to distribute, manage, and protect
energy flows across increasingly complex systems.
Siemens is
expanding production of integrated power distribution systems that allow data
center operators to deploy electrical infrastructure faster by reducing on-site
installation time and complexity. The investment is allowing Siemens to expand
production of several key solutions which include prefabricated solutions to
accelerate time-to-capacity as new AI workloads come online.
Furthermore,
Siemens is further ramping up its production medium-voltage protection and
automation systems that ensure stable and resilient power supply, preventing
disruptions to critical computing operations. Switchgear and electrical panels
manage and control the safe distribution of electricity, while busway systems
enable flexible and scalable power routing within large data center campuses.
Investing in
production capacity for these technologies that form the foundation of AI
infrastructure will ensure that the growing demand for compute can be matched
with reliable, efficient, and rapidly deployable power systems.
Workforce
development is also a critical component of this expansion. Through the Siemens
Foundation, the company recently launched Careers Electric™, a national
initiative designed to expand access to electrical training and create pathways
into high-demand technical careers. The program began in North Carolina with a
$9.25 million investment, developed in partnership with education institutions
and workforce organizations.
With these
investments in manufacturing, technology, and workforce development, Siemens is
expanding its role as a key partner in building the infrastructure that powers
the global AI economy.
