In fiscal 2011 (October 1, 2010 – September 30, 2011), sales to Siemens’ customers in Pakistan amounted to almost EUR 139.7 and new orders totaled EUR 154.1 million. With a workforce of 3,036 employees, Siemens is one of the most important employers in the country and the largest employer of engineering graduates, including women.

Siemens' overall involvement in the region dates back 140 years. The company's name first became known through the construction of the Indo-European telegraph line from London to Calcutta in 1870. Siemens' first office in what is now Pakistan opened in 1922. The Siemens Pakistan Engineering Company Ltd. was founded in 1953 as a private company, and in 1963 the company was reorganized as a public limited company.

Siemens further strengthened its competitive market position through innovative and sustainable solution offerings to the country’s major industrial and infrastructure segments. Various drive solutions were delivered to the high-potential sugar segment of the country, including a complete drive train for milling tandem. Siemens Pakistan also helped develop state-of-the-art automation labs for two of the leading engineering universities: the University of Engineering & Technology (NED) in Karachi and the University of Engineering & Technology (UET) in Lahore.
