Costache said Siemens Romania has four plants, of which three in Sibiu and one in Buzias. He added that one of the plants in Sibiu, called Sykatec, which makes electronic components and special cables, is being expanded at the moment.
Asked whether the investment in the factory in Sibiu reaches EUR3 million, Costache said: “I think the investment in Sibiu is larger than three million euros, but currently, we cannot say the exact cost of the plant equipping.”
Siemens Romania celebrates 110 years since inception this year. On this occasion, Siemens has brought to Romania a replica of the Curiosity rover, a car-sized robotic rover exploring Gale Crater on Mars as part of NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory mission. Siemens developed the software part of the robot.
Siemens Romania has nine divisions, two research-development (R&D) centers (in the cities of Brasov and Cluj), a similar oil and gas specialized unit (in Bucharest) and some 1,600 employees.
In 2014, Siemens had a turnover of EUR138 million, excluding the financial results of the factories in Sibiu and Buzias.
