Overview
Siemens, a stalwart in the realm of multinational technology conglomerates, hails from Germany. The company's extensive portfolio spans automation and digitalization across process and manufacturing industries, intelligent infrastructure for buildings and distributed energy systems, cutting-edge rail transport solutions, and advancements in health technology and digital healthcare services. Standing as the largest industrial manufacturing entity in Europe, Siemens has proudly secured its position as the global market leader in industrial automation and software.
History
The inception of Siemens dates back to 1847 when Werner von Siemens and Johann Georg Halske established the Telegraphen Bau-Anstalt von Siemens & Halske in Berlin. The conglomerate, as we know it today, evolved from the merger of Siemens & Halske, Siemens-Schuckert, and Siemens-Reiniger-Werke in 1966. This strategic union paved the way for Siemens to become a powerhouse in technology and innovation.
Siemens, headquartered in Munich and Berlin, and its subsidiaries employ nearly 320,000 people worldwide, earning a remarkable €78 billion in revenue in 2023. The company's reach spans important businesses such as Digital Industries, Smart Infrastructure, Mobility, Healthineers, and Financial Services. The independence of Siemens Healthineers and Siemens Mobility, which operate as separate businesses, is noteworthy. Infineon Technologies (1999), Siemens Mobile (2005), Gigaset Communications (2008), Osram (2013), and Siemens Energy (2020) are examples of important divisions spun off by the business.
Siemens marked its early years with pioneering achievements, including the construction of the first long-distance telegraph line in Europe (1848) and the completion of the Indo-European telegraph line stretching over 11,000 km from London to Calcutta (1867). The company's dynamic growth saw it venturing into electric trains, and light bulbs, and expanding its global reach with the opening of its first office in Japan (1887).
Siemens & Halske was founded in 1897 and eventually merged with Schuckert & Co., Nuremberg, to establish Siemens-Schuckert in 1903. Siemens & Halske joined forces with two other firms to form the Osram lighting manufacturer in 1919.
The 1920s and 1930s witnessed Siemens & Halske diversifying its portfolio into the manufacturing of radios, television sets, and electron microscopes.
In 1932, Reiniger, Gebbert & Schall, Phönix AG, and Siemens-Reiniger-Veifa mbH merged to form Siemens-Reiniger-Werke AG. The tumultuous era of World War II saw Siemens facing challenges, including accusations of exploiting forced labor in extermination camps and concentration camps. Despite the destruction caused by Allied air raids, Siemens demonstrated resilience by relocating manufacturing to alternative sites to ensure the continued production of crucial goods.
Following WWII, Siemens was subjected to criticism and court challenges, including one against satirist F.C. Delius for his work "Unsere Siemens-Welt." The company's wartime past was revealed, including the supply of electrical parts to Nazi concentration camps. The Siemens plants had horrible working conditions, and evidence suggested SS participation in running and supplying camp factories.
