Siemens: From Workshop to Global Player

"As Werner had envisioned, the company he started grew from strength to strength in every field of electrical engineering. From constructing the world€²s first electric railway to laying the first telegraph line linking Britain and India, Siemens was responsible for building much of the modern world€²s infrastructure. Siemens is today a technology giant in more than 190 countries, employing some 410,000 people worldwide. Our work in the fields of energy, industry, communications, information, transportation, healthcare, components and lighting has become essential parts of everyday life. While Werner was a tireless inventor during his days, Siemens today remains a relentless innovator. With innovations averaging 18 a day, it seems like the revolution Werner started is still going strong." (Siemans.com/history)
