The investments strengthen a global portfolio spanning power distribution, automation, digital twins, electronic design automation (EDA) and industrial AI.

Aug. 7, 2026 — Siemens will invest more than $200 million in two new U.S. manufacturing facilities in Pendergrass, Georgia, and Grand Prairie, Texas. These investments will expand Siemens’ production capacity to deliver the critical electrical infrastructure required to power the next wave of AI. Siemens will create more than 1,500 jobs and strengthen its ability to serve the rapidly growing demand for AI-ready data centers. The investments are part of a move to expand Siemens’ global capacity. In July 2026, the company already announced an investment of €300 million in its factories in Germany to support the rapid growth of AI and data centers.

“For anyone building or operating a data center today, the challenge is simple: scale faster, run reliably and use every watt wisely. Siemens brings together the technology and expertise to help them do it,” said Roland Busch, president and CEO of Siemens AG. “We are present across the AI value chain — from chip design and data center infrastructure to the electrical systems and smart grids that power accelerated computing. With these investments we are strengthening our global leadership in the electrical backbone of AI and helping customers build efficient, resilient, AI-ready data centers.”

The new facilities will produce the electrical equipment that keeps AI data centers running: systems essential for distributing, monitoring and controlling power across highly complex, energy-intensive environments. This enables customers to expand capacity while maintaining reliability, responding flexibly to changing loads and using energy and equipment more efficiently. Strong demand for these solutions is already visible in Siemens’ results. In the first nine months of its current fiscal year, the company recorded triple-digit order growth in its data center business, with orders reaching around €6 billion.

“The AI revolution will only scale if the infrastructure around it is efficient, resilient and trusted by the communities it serves. Siemens helps customers build more efficient AI-ready data centers and connect them to the wider energy stack — from power distribution and building technologies to grid software, load and energy management. That is how we help deliver the reliable and affordable power AI requires, while using resources as responsibly as possible,” said Peter Koerte, Member of the Managing Board and CEO of Siemens Smart Infrastructure.

Siemens is positioned on both sides of the AI buildout: providing the infrastructure AI relies on while bringing domain-specific AI into real-world engineering and operations. Its industrial AI capabilities combine software, automation and digital twins to help customers design, build and operate complex physical systems more efficiently and resiliently.
