Siemens Healthineers is investing $150 million in new projects to expand production, create jobs and better serve customers in the United States.
The new investments come on top of the $900 million Siemens Healthineers spends on R&D in the U.S. annually and more than $1 billion invested through facilities expansion, acquisitions and strategic partnerships in the U.S. since 2019.
The latest investments include the following:
- Bringing manufacturing back to the U.S.: relocation of manufacturing operations for Varian, a Siemens Healthineers company, from Baja, Mexico to Palo Alto, California, adding approximately 50 new manufacturing jobs. The change is expected to reduce the complexity of the company’s global supply chain.
- Strengthening supply-chain resilience: opening mega supply depots in Dayton, New Jersey and Manteca, California to increase availability of parts by nearly a third.
- Helping healthcare providers digitize and transform care delivery: construction of a 60,000-square-foot Siemens Healthineers Experience Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The center is part of The Pearl, Charlotte’s research and innovation district.
“North Carolina is home to some of the leading research and innovation firms in the nation,” said North Carolina Governor Josh Stein. “Siemens Healthineers’ $141 million investment in the Pearl in Charlotte is the latest in a long line of companies that see the value of our well-trained workforce thanks to advanced health education programs in our state.”Added John Kowal, president and head of Siemens Healthineers in the Americas: “Our significant U.S. employee base and broad portfolio of innovations are making vital contributions to the American healthcare system. With these new investments we’re further demonstrating our long-term commitment and desire to grow along with the American economy.”
