April 23, 2026
Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2026 and is expected to be completed by 2028, subject to receipt of all necessary permits and approvals. The planned new facility will have an area of approximately 14,500 m² and will be developed in partnership with WDP, under a long-term lease agreement, in full compliance with local laws and regulations.
Built on Siemens technology, designed for the future
The planned factory in Sibiu is designed to be a data-driven production environment, built on Siemens’ own technologies and solutions. Prior to construction, the production area is expected to be virtually designed using Siemens Digital Twin technology – enabling precise simulation and optimization of equipment locations, workflows and production processes to determine the best possible configuration.
The portfolio that will be available in the new factory will include the SENTRON low-voltage product range, intended for protection, switching, measurement and monitoring (such as miniature circuit breakers, residual current devices, residual current devices with overcurrent protection and electronic circuit protection devices), for industrial and residential use.
Highly flexible production based on artificial intelligence
Siemens is planning for intelligent and highly flexible production, in which artificial intelligence will play an increasingly important role. The focus will be on seamless data networking and intelligent control, from raw material procurement through assembly and testing to final delivery. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) will transport materials to production lines completely autonomously. The integration of automation and robotics is also part of the strategy.
In addition to increased efficiency, Siemens also expects increased flexibility, enabling rapid reactions to changing conditions and meeting future customer requirements.
Designed to be carbon neutral
Sustainability is set to be a central element in the way this factory is built and operates. The facility is designed to operate on a carbon-neutral basis, with energy efficiency built into all manufacturing processes. Skylights equipped with tubular daylighting devices are planned to channel natural sunlight directly into the production area through highly reflective tubes, reducing reliance on artificial lighting. Upon completion, a photovoltaic system is planned to be installed on the roof, with solar energy produced on site to be used directly, and the remaining electricity to be purchased from sustainable suppliers.
A workspace designed for people and progress
The factory is designed as an ergonomic and digitally connected workspace, built for collaboration and continuous learning. Dedicated training spaces are provided to help employees develop skills in automation, data analysis and continuous professional development. Modern offices and common areas are also designed to ensure full accessibility, including for people with disabilities or reduced mobility.
