Infrastructure Market: Siemens to Build Two US Plants, Invest $200M
Siemens will invest more than $200 million to build two factories in the United States — in Pendergrass, Georgia, and Grand Prairie, Texas — to produce electrical equipment for data centers. The company says the projects will create about 1,500 jobs. Siemens CEO Roland Busch said the investments aim to support the global AI expansion by enabling customers to build data centers that are AI-capable, efficient, and resilient. The announcement follows a record quarterly profit for Siemens and comes after a recent separate €300 million expansion of a Frankfurt plant that will add 700 jobs by 2030.
Significant corporate investment in data-center infrastructure tied to AI demand; indirectly relevant to adtech which relies on cloud/compute, but not directly an adtech-specific development.
