Siemens announced that its cumulative investments in U.S. manufacturing have now reached $1 billion over the past five years. The company says the capital has been directed toward new greenfield sites and expansions of existing facilities across the United States to support industry, infrastructure and transportation.
The projects, which Siemens says will come online throughout 2026, are intended to bolster local manufacturing capacity, enhance American supply chains and create manufacturing jobs in communities across multiple states. The company identified key growth markets supported by the expanded footprint, including data centers and AI factories, healthcare, passenger rail, semiconductors and utilities.
Among the specific commitments, Siemens invested $165 million to expand two existing sites and to establish three new locations across North and South Carolina to serve the U.S. AI and data center market. In Texas, the company invested $190 million to build a new 500,000-square-foot facility in Fort Worth designed to scale domestic production of critical electrical infrastructure, such as low-voltage switchboards.
In North Carolina, Siemens is building a $220 million greenfield manufacturing plant in Lexington to produce passenger rail coaches for the U.S. market. In California, the company invested $95 million in a combination of a new greenfield site and upgrades to an existing facility in Pomona, creating a combined 146,000-square-foot campus dedicated to low-voltage electrical equipment production.
Siemens expects these investments to support the introduction of more than 2,200 jobs by 2028. The company says the new roles will span advanced manufacturing, skilled trades, engineering and logistics.
Ann Fairchild, president and CEO of Siemens USA, commented on the investments, saying, "Siemens has been helping to build and support America’s industrial backbone as long as we’ve been a company, more than 175 years. These investments 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 also noted that its U.S. manufacturing operations support a network of more than 16,000 American suppliers, many of which the company says are small and mid-sized businesses. The firm framed the investments as reinforcing domestic capacity to meet local demand and to strengthen supply chains.
