May 4, 2026 | SiemensEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Siemens announced it has reached $1 billion in domestic manufacturing investments to support American industry, infrastructure and transportation over the past five years. These projects, coming online throughout 2026 and spanning industries and communities across the U.S., strengthen domestic manufacturing for local demand, bolster American supply chains and create well-paying manufacturing jobs. The investments also reinforce the company’s longstanding commitment to American customers, workers and communities.
Siemens’ expanding footprint supports key growth markets including data centers and AI factories, healthcare, passenger rail, semiconductors and utilities, among others. 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: $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.
Together, these investments are expected to introduce a total of more than 2,200 jobs by 2028. The new roles span jobs in advanced manufacturing, skilled trades, engineering and logistics, among others, and contribute to long‑term workforce and economic development in communities across the country.
“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.”
Siemens facilities integrate the company’s own industrial software and automation technologies to create state-of-the-art production environments in the age of artificial intelligence. Using Siemens Digital Industries Software solutions such as Technomatix, Siemens has deployed 3D digital twins across its manufacturing footprint to simulate, validate and commission production processes, enabling higher quality and more efficient shop floor design. Siemens Insights Hub then delivers real-time operational dashboards that provide transparency into machine performance and overall operational effectiveness in the company’s factories.
Siemens’ U.S. manufacturing footprint also supports a broad and diverse network of more than 16,000 American suppliers, many of them small and mid‑sized businesses, that play a critical role in local and regional economies.
Siemens’ new and expanded facilities in California, Illinois, Texas, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York and the Carolinas serve as a testament to energy efficient manufacturing in the U.S. Select carbon neutral facilities, all-electric operations, on-site PV microgrid systems and integrated EV chargers all showcase how Siemens is progressing towards its commitment to be a net-zero carbon company by 2030.
