Siemens has been active in Spain since 1895. The Company has been involved in most of the high-speed rail projects developed in Spain over the past 20 years. Today, Siemens in Spain has developed into a strong and highly respected group of companies dedicated to good corporate citizenship. This year, the Company sponsored the “25 Spanish Sustainable Cities” report, demonstrating its commitment to Spanish economic development.
In fiscal 2012 (October 1, 2011 – September 30, 2012), Siemens’ sales to customers in Spain amounted to around EUR 1.28 billion and new orders totaled over EUR 1.06 billion.
Siemens currently has around 2,700 employees in Spain.
Siemens officially launched its operations in Spain when the first Siemens & Halske agency, with responsibility for both Spain and Portugal, opened its doors in Madrid in 1895. Siemens Schuckert joined the group in 1910 by acquiring Industria Eléctrica, S.A. and its factory in Cornellà (Barcelona). This plant remains one of Siemens’ most important facilities in Spain.
Siemens installed the first laboratory automation platform in the world, the Aptio chain, at the Carlos Haya Hospital. This installation has become a reference, and more than 200 professionals from many countries (Spain, Denmark, Australia, England, Dubai) have visited to learn more about it and its benefits.
