Siemens has announced it has surpassed $1bn in U.S. manufacturing investments over the past five years, as the company ramps up domestic production capacity to support growing demand across AI, data centres, transportation and critical infrastructure markets.
The investments, which are due to come online throughout 2026, span multiple states and are expected to create more than 2,200 jobs by 2028 in advanced manufacturing, engineering, logistics and skilled trades.
The company said the projects are designed to strengthen domestic supply chains, support American reindustrialisation efforts and expand manufacturing capacity for key growth industries including semiconductors, utilities, healthcare and passenger rail.
Among the largest investments is a $190m project in Fort Worth, Texas, where Siemens is building a new 500,000-square-foot manufacturing facility focused on electrical infrastructure for data centres and AI-driven applications. The site will manufacture critical low-voltage switchboards used in rapidly expanding digital infrastructure projects.
In the Carolinas, Siemens has invested $165m to expand existing electrical equipment manufacturing operations and establish three additional facilities aimed at supporting demand from AI and data centre markets.
The company is also investing $220m in a new passenger rail manufacturing hub in Lexington, North Carolina. The greenfield facility will produce passenger rail coaches for the U.S. market, strengthening domestic rail manufacturing capabilities.
Meanwhile, a further $95m is being directed towards expanding electrical infrastructure manufacturing operations in Pomona, California. The project includes a new greenfield facility and upgrades to existing operations, creating a combined 146,000-square-foot production campus.
Ann Fairchild, president and CEO of Siemens USA, said the investments reflect the company’s long-term confidence in the American manufacturing sector.
“These investments—and those we anticipate in the years ahead—reflect our commitment to serving U.S. customers, the continued growth we see in the U.S. market, and our pride in supporting a strong, innovative domestic manufacturing base that is essential to America’s long-term competitiveness and resilience.”

Siemens said its latest facilities are being designed around advanced digital manufacturing principles, incorporating the company’s own industrial automation and software technologies. This includes the use of 3D digital twins through Siemens Digital Industries Software solutions such as Technomatix to simulate and optimise factory operations before deployment.
The company added that its growing U.S. manufacturing footprint supports a supply chain network of more than 16,000 American suppliers, including many small and medium-sized businesses.
Several of the new and expanded sites also form part of Siemens’ wider sustainability strategy, with features including all-electric operations, on-site solar microgrids and EV charging infrastructure as the company works towards its target of becoming a net-zero carbon business by 2030.
