Doubled production capacity and shorter delivery time to exceed customer expectation

产能翻倍，缩短交货期，超出客户期待值

Shanghai, June 06, 2008 -- The Automation and Drives Group (A&D) of Siemens Ltd., China today holds an opening ceremony for the newly built Phase II of Siemens Electrical Drives (Shanghai) Ltd. (SEDS). The Phase II consists of a manufacturing base and a warehouse centre. Upon its completion, SEDS is able to double its production capacity and shorten delivery time to the market. As a major move taken by Siemens A&D in China's medium-voltage converter market, it enables SEDS to better serve the needs of customers and exceed customer expectation, reaffirming its strong commitment to the China market.

上海6月6日消息 — 西门子自动化与驱动集团（A&D）今天为其下属运营公司西门子（上海）电气传动设备有限公司（SEDS）新的二期厂房举办了开张仪式。二期厂房包括生产基地和仓库中心两部分。正式投入运营后，SEDS的产能将翻一番，进一步缩短交货期。作为西门子A&D在中压变频市场的一项重大举措，它将确保SEDS能够更好地满足客户需求、超出客户期待值，再次彰显了西门子对中国市场坚定的承诺。

SEDS is located in Gaodong Industrial Zone of Pudong New Area, now covering a total area of 3,400 square meters. With the Phase II going into operation, SEDS will double its monthly production capacity to reach 100 units and thus able to satisfy the rapidly-growing demand for medium-voltage drives in China as well as in other Asian markets.

SEDS位于上海市浦东新区高东工业区，目前占地面积3400平方米。随着新厂房正式投入运营，SEDS的月产能将翻一番，达到每月100台，从而更好地满足中国及其他亚洲地区市场在中压变频领域快速增长的客户需求。

Mr. Peter Herweck, Executive Vice-President of Siemens Ltd, China and President of A&D China, said, " We have been dedicated to increasing the productivity of our customers in various industries. The completion of Phase II indicates that Siemens' new investment to expand the medium-voltage drives business was carried out smoothly, and our customers will be ensured shorter delivery time for their orders"

西门子（中国）有限公司执行副总裁及西门子（中国）有限公司自动化与驱动集团总裁Peter Herweck表示：“我们一直致力于为我们遍布各个行业的客户提高产能。二期厂房的落成充分表明我们在中压传动领域新的投资进展顺利，因此我们的客户将确保他们的订单可以获得更短的交货期。“  

SEDS, a former subsidiary of global-leading medium voltage Air Cooled drives provider Robicon Corporate, joined Siemens in 2005 as Siemens AG acquired Robicon Corp globally. Thanks to the excellent quality and outstanding performance, SEDS' products are well accepted and widely used in various industries including oil & gas, metallurgy, water and waste water treatment, iron & steel, cement, paper, mining, public utility, etc. Meanwhile, SEDS witnessed its sales volume reaching 270 million RMB in 2007, three times that of 2005.  Now with an annual output of about 400 million RMB and still increasing steadily, SEDS has become the third-largest subsidiary in Siemens' medium-voltage drives business worldwide.

SEDS的前身是中压空气冷却传动领域全球领先的供应商Robicon公司旗下的子公司。2005年，西门子在全球收购Robicon公司，并将其合并入西门子公司。由于其优异的质量和突出的性能，SEDS的产品获得了各行业用户的高度认可，并广泛应用于石油及天然气、冶金、水及废水处理、钢铁、水泥、造纸、矿业、公共设施等各个行业。同时，SEDS在2007年实现销售额2.7亿人民币，是2005年的3倍。SEDS目前的年产值达到了4亿人民币，并随着业务的发展稳步增长，已成为西门子全球范围内中压变频领域第三大运营子公司。

The new factory not only sets a milestone in Siemens' medium-voltage converter business development in China, but also will fortify the presence of Siemens A&D in Shanghai. To date, Siemens A&D has set up five operating companies in Shanghai, engaged in electrical drives, low-voltage power distribution, circuit protection, process analytics and electronic assembly.

新厂房的落成不仅是西门子中压变频业务在中国发展的里程碑，也将进一步推动西门子自动化与驱动集团在上海的业务发展。迄今为止，西门子自动化与驱动集团在上海已有5家运营公司，分别致力于电气传动、低压配电、电路保护、过程分析以及电子装配业务。
