In fiscal 2011 (October 1, 2010 – September 30, 2011), Siemens’ sales to customers in Thailand totaled EUR 319.65 million and new orders amounted to EUR 847.7 million. Siemens currently has about 1,200 employees in Thailand.

Siemens activities in Thailand date back to 1900, when Siemens & Halske signed an agency agreement with the local company B. Grimm & Co. to sell Siemens products and systems ranging from electrical systems to medical equipment.  Nearly 20 years ago, Siemens established its own legal entity to pursue business opportunities, and has since been playing a significant role in modernizing the country’s rail, energy and healthcare infrastructures. Siemens Thailand also oversees business activities in Cambodia and Myanmar.

Both Bangkok’s mass transit systems – BTS Skytrain and MRT Blue Line – as well as the new Airport Rail Link services are equipped with Siemens’ technologies.
Siemens also holds a leading position in the fossil power generation business. The company previously built two 700-MW combined cycle power plants (CCPPs) in Thailand and will provide another two CCPPs, each with a capacity of 800 MW, by 2014.
 After 15 years in the market, Siemens achieved a breakthrough in the Thai small power producer market by winning major orders for 20 industrial gas turbines with associated long-term service contracts.
