Siemens in Hamburg can look back on more than
100 years. Energy, communications, mobility,
health care – there is hardly an area of life where
Siemens technology is missing. The Hamburg

strategic link to Eastern European markets,
provides a distribution channel for all Siemens
products and establishes an important base for
ongoing business development.
