In fiscal 2012 (October 1, 2011 – September 30, 2012), Siemens’ sales to customers in Tunisia amounted to almost EUR 33 million and new orders totaled more than EUR 11 million.
Siemens currently has about 50 employees in Tunisia.

The history of Siemens in Tunisia dates back to the 1930s, when the company began its operations through local agents. In 1990, Siemens opened its first local company in Tunisia. The company’s history has been marked by numerous milestones, such as the construction of Africa’s first tram line, which today carries more than 130 million passengers annually.

In 2010, as part of the 11th national development plan, Siemens signed a contract with Société Tunisienne de l’Electricité et du Gaz (STEG) to supply power transmission systems across the country. In fiscal 2012, under the contract, Siemens delivered a variety of gas-insulated substations (GISs) to reinforce the Tunisian power grid.
