The location’s expansion will create over 500 new jobs and increase the
workforce to approximately 2,500 employees. On the factory’s doubled workspace, Vectouro passenger cars will also be produced along with the
market-leading models of the Vectron locomotive platform. This marks the first
time that Siemens will manufacture all products based on Vectron technology
under one roof. The location will also triple its capacity for modern services.
In addition, Munich-Allach will become the new headquarters of Siemens
Mobility, and the location will bring together key business areas such as
research and development, production, service, and management. By bundling competencies
for integrated innovations and rapid implementation for its customers, Siemens
is implementing a core element of its ONE Tech Company program.
“In Allach,
Siemens is demonstrating how competitive manufacturing is possible in Germany
today: with superior products, maximum automation, digitalization, and the use
of artificial intelligence. With the software and digital services offered to customers
through our open business platform Siemens Xcelerator, we are showing the way
to networked mobility of the future,” said Roland Busch, CEO of Siemens AG.
“The expansion of our location in Munich-Allach into a global competence center
and home of the new company headquarters combines efficiency and innovation.
With an investment of around €250 million in modern production facilities,
service capacities, and digital solutions, we are securing our competitiveness
and further boosting our innovative strength. By combining AI-based
applications and innovative production technologies such as laser-guided
installation, robotics, and digital twins, we are transforming ‘heavy metal’
into ‘heavy AI’ and taking the rail industry in Germany to a new level,”
commented Michael Peter, CEO of Siemens Mobility.
“Munich-Allach is a beacon of our innovation strategy and a prime example
of German engineering. With over 1.2 billion kilometers in service, our Vectron
locomotives clearly prove that premium products can be successfully manufactured
in Germany. We are proud to be creating more than 500 additional jobs in the
‘Home of Vectron’ and to be consolidating central functions such as management,
development, production, and service in one location. This move will secure our
role as industry leader and strengthen the economic power of Munich and
Germany,” said Karl
Blaim, CFO of Siemens Mobility.
Production
expansion & investments
By expanding the Munich-Allach facilities from 47,000 to over 100,000
square meters, Siemens has provided space for a substantial increase in
production capacities. In the future, up to 385 Vectron locomotives and up to
180 passenger cars can be manufactured there per year. Munich-Allach will employ state-of-the-art
technologies such as laser-guided installation, robotics, AI-enabled quality
management, digital twins, and AI-based software development. The
facility’s expansion strengthens Munich-Allach as a global
competence center for the development, production and servicing of modern and
sustainable rail vehicles – and will enable Siemens Mobility to respond faster
and with greater flexibility to market requirements and increase efficiency.
Expanded Rail Service Center – capacity to triple
by 2026
The Rail Service Center is being substantially
expanded to enable it to handle up to 80 locomotive overhauls and accident
repairs annually, up from 25 currently. When
completed, the competence center for heavy maintenance work will have tripled
its capacity to meet the rapidly
growing market for high-quality service and fast response times. In addition to
its four new service tracks, the new building includes specialized workshops
for bogies and wheelsets. These investments are decisive for continuing to offer
customers high-performance services and the shortest possible turnaround times.
Completion of the new building is planned for 2026.
Along with the Rail Service
Center, the service portfolio at Munich-Allach will be complemented by around
70 data and software specialists on site who will support international
customers with their digital transformations by providing modular services and
the Railigent X application suite. This unique bundling of expertise from
production and service enhances and strengthens the role of the Munich-Allach
plant as a holistic competence center and “Home of Vectron”.
Munich-Allach
is growing: More than 2,500 employees by 2028
Siemens Mobility is moving its headquarters from Munich-Perlach to Munich-Allach. With the location’s expansion, over 500 new jobs will be created,
primarily in technical areas such as welding, metalworking, mechatronics, and
electrical engineering. By 2028, the location will employ over 2,500 people,
strengthening Munich-Allach’s
position as a leading regional center and providing a significant economic stimulus for the city and district of
Munich and local industry. This growth initiative is a clear
demonstration of Siemens Mobility’s firm commitment to creating and securing
highly qualified jobs in Germany.
In fiscal 2024, which ended on September 30, 2024, the Siemens Group generated revenue of €75.9 billion and net income of €9.0 billion. As of September 30, 2024, the company employed around 312,000 people worldwide on the basis of continuing operations. Further information is available on the Internet at www.siemens.com.
