Siemens' new headquarters in Munich

Siemens opens new headquarters in Munich

MUNICH, June 28, 2016

Siemens, a global technology powerhouse, recently opened its new headquarters in Munich, Germany.

Celebrating the occasion the company held a grand opening ceremony in attendance with its employees and senior level officials, said a statement from Siemens.

Deputy Minister-President of Bavaria Ilse Aigner and Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter were also present at the ceremony, it said.

The new building, completed in about three years, provides space for 1,200 employees on an above ground area of around 45,000 sq m, it added.

The company’s real estate unit, Siemens Real Estate (SRE), was responsible for the implementation and executed this major project on time and on budget, said a statement.

The employees will be moving into their new offices over the course of the summer, it said.

In the year marking the 200th anniversary of the birth of the company’s founder, the section of the Finkenstrasse road directly in front of the new building’s entrance is being renamed to “Werner-von-Siemens-Strasse” in honour of his lifetime achievements, it stated.

The new building has been designed to meet the most stringent environmental standards. The power it consumes is drawn exclusively from renewable sources of energy, and its annual CO2 emissions have now been reduced to just nine kg per sq m, it added.

Joe Kaeser, president and CEO of Siemens AG, said: “With our new corporate headquarters, we want to establish a symbol that stands for working together in the spirit of global entrepreneurship, for integration into society and for taking action in accordance with the principles of sustainability.”

Gerhard Cromme, chairman of the supervisory board of Siemens AG, said: “From its beginnings to the present day, we have been a company with international operations. The new corporate headquarters provides an open place where people from more than 40 countries work together – a place that’s open to all our employees around the world.”

“Our new building features a modern and sustainable design, and it’s meant to attract all those who want to help make the world a better place,” he said.

Speaking at the event, Aigner said: “Siemens’ new headquarters underscore the company’s commitment to Bavaria and to Munich as a business location. As a highly creative innovator and a major employer, the company plays a key role in our state’s prosperity and strength.”

“The impressive new building in our capital city is a visible symbol of Siemens’ work in Bavaria,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
