In fiscal 2012 (October 1, 2011 – September 30, 2012), Siemens’ sales to customers in Denmark amounted to approximately EUR 752 million and new orders totaled almost EUR 1.63 billion. Siemens currently has about 6,460 employees in Denmark.

Siemens’ activities in Denmark date back to 1892, when the company built Copenhagen’s first power station. Siemens established its first company in Denmark one year later, in 1893. Among other things, Siemens supplied Denmark’s first elevator and naval radio stations. The company also installed the first fire alarms in Copenhagen and supplied the country’s first fiber optic cables.

Siemens’ Wind Power Division introduced the world’s longest blade, B75. The 75-meter blade is intended for the new 6-MW offshore turbine, and will provide a 154-meter rotor – the largest in the world. The Wind Power Division signed a framework agreement with DONG Energy for 300 6-MW offshore turbines. It is the first commercial order for the 6-MW turbines, which are expected to be the flagship product of the future for offshore wind farms. The 300 turbines are intended for British offshore projects.
