Siemens continues its development in Romania, finalizing its expansion of the two from the four of its factories from Romania, operated locally through Simea Sibiu SRL company. The two production units are situated in Sibiu and Buzias town, Timis county.

“Romania represents an interest point for companies with production activities based on the skilled labor workforce and competitive costs, but also the proximity compared with Western markets. The production expansion and the investments in R&D proves the commitment of Siemens for Romania, a contribution assumed 111 years ago, “ said George Costache, CEO Siemens Romania.

„ Siemens group opened 14 years ago the first factory in Romania. The investments newly finalized represent a new stage in the successive development of production capacities, a recognition of competitiveness and performances of our employees, as well as the excellent collaboration with Siemens Austria and Germany, ” added Aurel Baloi, CEO Simea Sibiu SRL.

The factory from Sibiu, opened in 2014, was relocated in a new building in July in the „Industrial park Western side”. The 7,800 sqm industrial spaces and offices represent an area with 110 percent bigger than the one previously occupied by the production unit.
