"This ribbon cutting is coming on the heels of our Pomona, California Electrical Products facility expansion, celebration and several other exciting manufacturing investments,” said Regional CEO of Electrical Products for Siemens Smart Infrastructure North America Barry Powell. These two back to back openings underscore the importance of Siemens’ power distribution solutions to American infrastructure. Powering utilities, the construction industry, commercial facilities and, of course, data centers, we are scaling up to ensure U.S industry has the electrical foundation it needs to continue to stay competitive.”
Showcasing industrial automation, the facility team used Siemens’ Digital Industries Software to optimize the production flow. Siemens Technomatix’s 3D models were used to simulate, validate and commission the production process so the shop floor could be designed for higher production quality.
This announcement joins Siemens’ recent investment of more than $690 million in American manufacturing over the past several years.
