In fiscal 2011 (October 1, 2010 – September 30, 2011), Siemens’ sales to customers in Kuwait amounted to almost EUR 143.6 million. New orders totaled nearly EUR 112.3 million. Siemens currently has around 250 employees in Kuwait.

Since 1959, Siemens has been a constructive and reliable partner in Kuwait, making a substantial contribution to the development of the country’s infrastructure. The company’s first major projects included the construction of the Shuaiba North steam power plant in 1964 and the National Control Center in 1976.

Siemens secured a significant engineering and services contract from Kuwait Oil Company for the “Perfect Harmony” variable frequency drives. Siemens also received an order from Kuwait National Petroleum Company for the supply of medium-voltage motors as well as intelligent simcodes and smart devices for the revamp of the motor control center at its Shuiaba Refinery.
