Siemens Ireland

Siemens' long-term commitment in Ireland began in 1874 when the first direct transatlantic telegraph cable was laid from Ballinskelligs Bay, County Kerry, to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Siemens Limited was formed as a registered company in Ireland in 1925 and has been involved in many key infrastructure projects, beginning with the Shannon hydroelectric power scheme in 1926. Major projects have included the construction of most of Ireland’s power plants, supplying the overhead catenary system equipment for the DART rail system, supplying the first CT and MR scanners in the country. For nearly nine decades, Siemens Limited has been the preferred technology solutions provider, conceptualizing and implementing various flagship Irish projects in Mobility, Energy Management, Power and Gas, Smart Cities, Intelligent Infrastructure, Industrial Applications, Healthcare and Financing. Siemens is also strengthening its digitalization portfolio and working on select applications in the country. Good corporate citizenship is embedded in the company’s business activities. Siemens is totally committed to a business strategy that generates profits while contributing to the well-being of individual people, the societies it serves and the world in general. Since education is critically important to the health of society, the company invests extensively in people, upgrading their skills to ensure that Ireland will continue to maintain a strong position in Europe’s dynamic knowledge-based economy.  Siemens is involved in a number of initiatives to foster an interest in science and engineering among school children and students. Siemens is committed to protecting the environment and contributing to sustainable development.
