From the first electric telegraph line to a global technology powerhouse.
The history of Siemens in Indonesia dates back to 1855, when the company delivered the first pointer telegraph. First registered as TWIJSEL's AUTOMOBIEL MAATSCHAPPIJ in 1920, the company was renamed PT Siemens Indonesia in 1973. For over 165 years, Siemens has pioneered cooperation with Indonesia through its solutions, technologies and products, committed to becoming the preferred technology company in the country.
The determination to shape the future has been a key trait of Siemens managers and researchers. Get to know the people behind the story.
Werner von Siemens was a visionary entrepreneur who brought key advances in the electrical industry. His pointer telegraph was the cornerstone of the company he founded in 1847 — the "Telegraphen-Bauanstalt von Siemens & Halske" — which quickly evolved into a global enterprise. In 1866 he discovered the dynamo-electric principle, possibly his most significant accomplishment in the field of electrical engineering.
Many personalities have helped shape Siemens' history and development in various ways and make up our heritage today. From scientists to influential personalities, Managing Board Chairmen and Supervisory Board Chairmen.
