Afghanistan

The Siemens Office in Kabul will play a major role in serving clients locally and coordinating all Siemens business groups' activities for Afghanistan. These activities will fully reflect the Siemens philosophy of ensuring long-term business success by contributing to the improvement of people's lives in both the private and public sectors.

Siemens is ready to participate in the reconstruction of Afghanistan and provide and transfer its technology, capabilities and expertise to Afghan engineers and technicians and establish a powerful local competence for the Afghan market. The renowned strengths of Siemens extend from its ability to offer a complete range of products, systems, solutions and services from a single source and its coordinated approach in providing the customer with integrated concepts up to providing clients with financing services and arrangements.

Siemens has an extensive history in Afghanistan, commencing in 1925 as a cross-border business over Siemens India and in 1936 with setting up direct office facilities. In 2002 Siemens re-established its activities in Afghanistan. At present, Siemens is supporting a coordinated approach by the Afghan government with technical investigation, analysis and technical and commercial proposals for urgent infrastructure projects.
