The partner for progress

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is prospering, and we are delighted to contribute our share.2

Siemens’ activities in Saudi Arabia date

back to the early 1930s, when the country

imported its first power plant equipment.

Together with its local partner E.A. Juffali

and Brothers, Siemens has built a long-

standing, trusted partnership with the gov-

ernment and the private sector. Today we

are regarded as a reliable partner and a

corporate citizen committed to contribut-

ing to the prosperity and progress of the

Kingdom. In February 2011 we announced

a major investment that will support the

Kingdom in making the best use of its

natural resources and in turning its vision

of a knowledge society into reality.

As a global pioneer in

technology, engineering, and

infrastructure, Siemens has

always applied the highest

ethical standards.

Our products and services

have contributed to Saudi

Arabia’s development for many

decades. I am convinced that

our investment in the power

industry of the Kingdom and

the job creation will

make Saudi Arabia a

significant hub for

technological excellence.

Driven by the spirit of research and development, Siemens

engineers continuously strive to further improve their

products and solutions and take the efficiency rates of

gas and steam turbines to new levels. The new H-class

turbines are a prime example of how turbine technology

helps make fossil power generation more efficient.

About 50 per cent more electric power can be generated

from a given amount of fuel with an H-class turbine, which

in turn means fuel savings and higher plant profitability.

Estimates are that Saudi Arabia’s population will increase

from 28 million to 40 million within the next ten years.

To meet the significant rise in power demand, the in -

stalled capacity will have to double. It will be necessary

to build new power plants with a combined capacity of

at least 4,000 MW every year. This is why the Kingdom is

making major investments in the expansion of power

supply capacities.

Siemens is highly committed to supporting Saudi Arabia

in meeting this challenge. The company will invest

hundreds of millions of US dollars to build a manufactur-

ing and service center in the Kingdom together with its

local partner E.A. Juffali and Brothers. The state-of-the-art

facility will be built in Dammam, from where Siemens

will conduct the local manufacturing of gas turbines and

rotating equipment as well as services and repairs of com-

ponents for the Saudi Arabian power market.

Today, one-third of the electric power consumed in the

Kingdom is transmitted and distributed by Siemens equip-

ment. Siemens supplies efficient and reliable products and

solutions for various power plants. Raz al Khair power

station, for instance, is one of the most important mega-

projects in the Kingdom and can ge nerate about 21 TWh

of power per year – enough for some 2.7 million people.

As a global technology company, Siemens recruits talented

people around the world and creates an environment in

which they can best develop and contribute their skills.

Diverse teams with a broad spectrum of skills, experience,

and qualifications increase the wealth of ideas in the com-

pany and strengthen our power to innovate. Our teams

also reflect the diverse composition of our customer base

and help create a local competitive edge.

Siemens Saudi Arabia currently has more than 1,850

employees working at five different locations. The new

facility will create further qualified jobs in the Kingdom.

While most of the new employees will have a background

in engineering or business, such as engineers and com-

mercial controllers, the company will also be looking for

dedicated and talented people from other disciplines as

well as for skilled and semi-skilled staff. Siemens also

supports the government’s efforts to effect social change

in the country by recruiting Saudi women, and promotes

the careers of young Saudis with targeted professional

recruitment and training programmes.

The employees’ expertise and know-how are the most

valuable assets for a technology company, especially

in growing markets such as Saudi Arabia. This is why

Siemens cares about sustainable staff development and

provides employees with numerous trainings, seminars,

and self-development programmes as well as opp ortun -

ities to gain interesting work experience abroad.

The capacity to create opportunities

320new employees joined Siemens

Saudi Arabia in 2010

Every employee starts with a thorough introduction to

the job and to the company. An individual plan for the

first months and a personal mentor also help make the

start easy. Later, regular constructive dialogue with direct

supervisors allows employees to recognize individual

strengths and opportunities. International employment

is a matter of course for motivated and talented staff

members. Fast-track development programmes for espe-

cially talented staff, such as the Siemens Finance Excel-

lence Program, are the foundation of outstanding careers

at Siemens and cultivate individuals who dare to ask the

toughest questions and share a mindset of openness and

curiosity.

Learning is a key requirement for people and a prerequisite

for individual and societal development. The economic

future of any society depends to a great extent on the

quality of its natural science and technical education.

It is a society’s responsibility to provide a forward-looking

education – a responsibility we share as a corporate

citizen. We have developed comprehensive education

programmes that help gifted children and youth

throughout their primary, secondary, and post-secondary

education.

Siemens is committed to establishing the latest technolo-

gies and to developing specialist and engineering knowl-

edge for the power industry in the Kingdom. In coopera-

tion with Saudi Petroleum Services Polytechnic (SPSP),

Siemens will provide vocational training programmes for

40 young Saudi nationals. After a three-year training, they

will work for Siemens Saudi Arabia. The programmes

include theoretical and practical courses as well as applied

“on the job” apprenticeships based on the proven German

concept.

Further encouraging human capital development in

the Kingdom, Siemens collaborates with Saudi Electricity

Company (SEC) for its Expert Development Program.

Selected SEC employees will receive one year of training

at various locations of Siemens in Germany and in the

USA to enhance their expertise in the field of energy

tech nologies.

In cooperation with SAGIA, Siemens also organized the

SAGIA Commercial Training Program, which aims to pro-

vide promising young professionals in the Kingdom with

world-class management and leadership skills as well as

business administration experience.

The energy to build the future

1,000Discovery Boxes have

50,000students in the Kingdom

are targeted by the Discovery Box programme

To promote and encourage the creative thinking, research,

and exploration skills of Saudi students, Siemens Saudi

Arabia is running the Discovery Box programme in cooper-

ation with Saudi Aramco. The Discovery Box kits handed

out to students contain a variety of tools and materials

that make it possible to easily and safely conduct age-

appropriate, scientific experiments in electricity, energy,

environment, and health. Implemented in coordination

with the Ministry of Education, the programme aims at

reaching some 50,000 students in early school grades

through the distribution of 3,500 scientific kits in a num-

ber of schools throughout the Kingdom. So far, we have

distributed 1,000 Discovery Boxes to 357 targeted schools,

and 520 teachers have participated in the corres ponding

training courses.
