Siemens established its first Representative Office in the Czech Republic in 1890. Today, 122 years later, Siemens in the Czech Republic has developed into a strong and highly respected group of companies.

Siemens signed a contract with Skoda Praha Invest for the modernization of the control system and electrical components of the Prunerov II power plant.
