In fiscal 2012 (October 1, 2011 – September 30, 2012), Siemens’ sales to customers in Hungary amounted to approximately EUR 191.1 million and new orders totaled almost EUR 197.8 million. Siemens currently has over 2,000 employees in Hungary.

Siemens established its first company in Hungary in 1890. Early achievements by Siemens included the first subway line on the European mainland, a network of tram lines in Budapest and the installation of electric street lighting on the main roads of the capital city. In the early 1900s, Siemens also became a leading manufacturer of electrical cables and equipment, and was a major player in the development of the country’s electrical and electronics industry until the end of World War II. Since 1989-90, through acquisitions and investments, Siemens again established a group of local companies and helped the country modernize its industry and infrastructure.

Together with the continuing use of various types of diagnostic equipment which are well established in Hungary – such as the SOMATOM Emotion CT and Luminos dRF – 2012 also saw the first installation in the country of the MAGNETOM C! 0,35T and Magnetom Essenza 1.5 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging systems as well as the Multix Select DR X-ray system, and the first order for a two-way angiographic system.
