Siemens said it has invested more than $165 million across North and South Carolina to support America’s accelerating AI and data center markets.

In North Carolina, Siemens is growing its footprint with two new all-electric, carbon-neutral facilities. In Raleigh, the brand new 131,000-square-foot facility will add 100 jobs by the end of the year and will assemble Siemens’ integrated power delivery solutions. 

These prefabricated systems significantly reduce on-site installation time for critical power infrastructure, helping data center operators bring capacity online faster. In Wendell, a new 101,000-square-foot site will localize production of medium voltage protection and automation devices while adding 50 new roles. Lastly, Siemens’ Wendell-based Electrification and Automation U.S. headquarters will expand local switchgear production, creating more than 200 additional jobs at the facility by 2028.

In South Carolina, Siemens is opening a new 120,000-square-foot facility in Spartanburg that will house the company’s lighting panel production and distribution center. Nearby in Roebuck, the company’s current facility will also add 22,000 square feet. This will increase busway production capacity significantly along with additional fabrication capabilities. 

The expanded facility will feature a new paint line, epoxy line, and an expanded plating line. Together, the Spartanburg and Roebuck facilities will add 150 new manufacturing roles to Spartanburg County.

These electrical products, together with Siemens’ simulation, automation and cooling optimization portfolios create a chip-to-grid-to-buildings solution that reshapes the infrastructure powering AI. Together these technologies ensure efficiency and resiliency for the data center industry as well as neighboring communities across the country.
