Over a period of more than 110 years, Siemens has developed into an innovative, long-term, reliable and committed partner to Egypt. For 10 years, Siemens has been a local manufacturer of air-insulated switchgear (AIS) in Egypt. In fiscal 2012, the company enhanced its local manufacturing activities by launching a new gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) unit to supply customers in Egypt with high-voltage products. Siemens is also supporting educational programs for students. As part of the Green Generation Initiative, Siemens launched the Green Box experiment kit, designed not only to raise awareness of energy and environmental issues among children between the ages of 8 and 12, but also to spark young people’s interest in Siemens’ innovative approaches and broad green portfolio.
In fiscal 2012 (October 1, 2011 – September 30, 2012), Siemens’ sales to customers in Egypt amounted to almost EUR 256 million and new orders totaled around EUR 275 million.
Siemens currently has 514 employees in Egypt.
The history of Siemens in Egypt dates back to 1859, when Siemens implemented its first turnkey project in the country. In 1901, Siemens opened its first technical office in Cairo. In 1992, Siemens Limited was established to handle all of Siemens’ sales and service activities in Egypt. Since October 1998, Siemens Limited has been a consolidated Regional Company, with the goal of further expanding and strengthening Siemens’ business relationships in Egypt. On October 1, 2008, Siemens Limited was reorganized as Siemens S.A.E.
Aiming to improve the reliability, efficiency and safety of Egypt’s rail services, Egyptian National Railways (ENR) placed a contract worth EUR 16 million with the Mobility and Logistics Division to supply wayside equipment for a ZUB automatic train control (ATC) system. For more than 25 years, ENR has relied on Siemens’ ZUB ATC systems to monitor train movements in its entire network, which is one of the largest in Africa and the Middle East. This was one of Siemens’ largest rail automation orders in the Middle East.
