Siemens USA’s $1 billion investment in manufacturing

Siemens has now reached $1 billion in American manufacturing investments over the past five years. Together, these investments will introduce a total of more than 2,200 jobs by 2028.

“Siemens has been helping to build and support America's industrial backbone as long as we've been a company, more than 175 years,” said Ann Fairchild, president and CEO of Siemens USA. “These investments—and those we anticipate in the years ahead—reflect our commitment to serving U.S. customers, the continued growth we see in the U.S. market, and our pride in supporting a strong, innovative domestic manufacturing base that is essential to America’s long-term competitiveness and resilience.”

Sustained investment in U.S. manufacturing is essential to strengthening supply chains, advancing innovation, supporting communities, and building a future-ready industrial economy.

Where the $1B is going

Each individual investment that Siemens makes has important ripple effects. New jobs are created. Career paths that were unknown or simply not available start to open up. Workers get access to new training and career development. Local economies get a boost from both direct and indirect investments in the area.

Since 2021, our investments have incorporated eight new buildings and five expanded campuses. Recent key investments include:

Electrical equipment manufacturing in North and South Carolina: Siemens invested $165 million to expand two existing Siemens facilities and introduce three new sites across the Carolinas to support America’s rapidly accelerating AI and data center markets.

Data Center infrastructure manufacturing in Fort Worth, Texas: More than $190 million invested in a new 500,000-square-foot facility to scale American production of critical electrical infrastructure, such as low-voltage switchboards.

New passenger rail manufacturing hub in Lexington, North Carolina: The $220 million greenfield manufacturing facility is building passenger rail coaches for the U.S.

Expanded electrical infrastructure manufacturing in Pomona, California: The $95 million investment in both a new greenfield manufacturing site and existing facility upgrades create a combined 146,000-square-foot campus for vital low-voltage electrical equipment production.

We’ve also invested significantly at four other sites:

• Buffalo Grove, Illinois

  Increased manufacturing footprint for Siemens Smart Infrastructure.

• Grand Prairie, Texas

  Low-voltage equipment and circuit breakers.

• Horseheads, New York

  High-speed rail production.

• Kenosha, Wisconsin

  Producing photovoltaic string inverters.

• Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

  Rail infrastructure manufacturing.

Taken together, all these specific investments align Siemens’ support for the industries that form the backbone of America’s economy: industry, infrastructure, and transportation

What this $1B means

This billion-dollar investment isn’t just a figure on an Excel spreadsheet. It’s people learning and growing in their careers. It’s the cities and townships benefiting from domestic industry and local jobs. It’s building out critical infrastructure for key industries: semiconductors, automotive, AI, data centers, utilities, healthcare, and more. It’s revitalizing domestic manufacturing so Americans can make what they need at home. And it’s increasing U.S. economic competitiveness and boosting growth at the national level.

Our investment efforts are also part of our long-term commitment to localizing Siemens in the U.S. This is our largest market worldwide, with 50,000 people, manufacturing plants from coast to coast, and 16,000 U.S. suppliers. We have sought to be truly consistent in our investment across our facilities, in technology and skilled workers, having invested $15 billion last year in U.S. software companies, while maintaining the goal to train 200,000 manufacturing experts and electricians by 2030.

The investments that we have made in production span our Mobility and Smart Infrastructure businesses. We’re particularly ramping up our ability to manufacture trains to support growth in passenger rail, and to manufacture state-of-the-art electrical gear that’s vital to AI factories and critical infrastructure.

Siemens is the company pioneering Industrial AI. We see this driving a new Industrial Tech Sector, with the United States at the center of this sector. There’s a huge focus right now in the U.S. on AI technology leadership, developing AI infrastructure, onshoring manufacturing and developing the workforce. We contribute to all of these national priorities that lead directly to market growth.

Ultimately, however, these investments signal more than growth. They underscore Siemens’ role as a long-term partner to U.S. industry—one that is willing to commit capital, expertise, and innovation to help strengthen the industrial foundation that customers and communities rely on.

Investing in innovating for workforce

A key driver of the way we invest is our recognition of the great need to attract, train and develop people from all backgrounds at all stages of their careers and education. And to do it faster than ever before at the highest standard.

We believe it’s possible to open the doors wider for new entrants into skilled trade—even people without previous experience or exposure to the career fields. Because we believe in this kind of workforce innovation, we invest in this, and we can demonstrate how it can be done.

At our new high-tech factory in Fort Worth, mentioned above, our investment helped launch a workforce development program that could transform how to rapidly develop talent in the skilled trades. We did this because Siemens needed to hire people for hundreds of roles quickly when the plant officially opened in March 2025. The facility has created nearly 500 jobs, with 280 more expected next year.

In the past, career opportunities created in Fort Worth might have only been available to people with industrial experience or certain technical backgrounds.

Siemens changed that by creating a new training program that enabled people with no previous industrial experience to join our team and contribute to American manufacturing’s future. We did this by hiring former teachers and principals to staff that program, and they worked with different manufacturing experts to create training models for people with no manufacturing experience.

This new training model in Fort Worth has been successful in bringing people from non-industrial backgrounds, such as a former chef and pizza delivery driver, to the factory floor. A variety of people have found growth opportunities at our Fort Worth facility. As of earlier this year, the retention rate among team members who participated in these training models was 73 percent.

Putting our investing efforts into innovative programs helps elevate the entire manufacturing ecosystem. As productivity improves through a highly skilled workforce and modern capabilities become more widespread, U.S. manufacturers are better positioned to compete globally, deliver value to customers, and build resilient operations that can weather future challenges.

Investment must be sustained and sustainable

Investing directly in manufacturing demonstrates long-term commitment and creates shared value that extends beyond immediate business outcomes. For U.S. manufacturers, it directly influences the strength and stability of the industrial ecosystem they operate within. Expanding domestic manufacturing capacity helps reduce exposure to global disruptions while improving access to advanced technologies and locally supported solutions.

A sustained commitment to investing can help ensure that U.S. manufacturing remains a driver of growth, opportunity, and resilience for generations to come.

As industries, communities, and policymakers look ahead, continued momentum will depend on collaboration and commitment across the public and private sectors. Siemens will continue to invest, innovate, and partner to help strengthen U.S. manufacturing, develop the workforce, and advance the technologies that power modern industry. We invite customers, partners, and stakeholders to engage with us as we build what’s next—for American manufacturing and for the communities it supports.
