Siemens Energy to expand Nuremberg transformer factory in Germany
- September 9, 2025
Siemens Energy is investing approximately 220 million Euros to expand its transformer factory in Nuremberg, Germany.
The foundation stone for the site expansion was laid on September 5, 2025, in the presence of Bavaria’s Minister President Dr. Markus Söder and Nuremberg’s Mayor Marcus König. With this investment, Siemens Energy is responding to the sharp increase in global demand for large transformers which are crucial for grid expansion, a release by Siemens Energy said.
Currently, Siemens Energy employs nearly 1,000 people at the factory in Nuremberg, where transformers have been manufactured since 1912. Due to rising demand, the facility will be expanded by around 16,000 square meters, increasing production capacity by approximately 50 per cent. Construction will take place while operations at the factory continue, with the new production areas expected to be available by 2028.
The Free State of Bavaria is supporting the expansion with up to 20 million Euros in technology funding – aiming to sustainably strengthen Nuremberg as a hub for innovation, research, and development.
Dr. Markus Söder, Bavarian Minister President: “Nuremberg is becoming a hub for the energy transition: With an investment of 220 million Euros, Siemens Energy is creating 350 modern jobs in a place that has been successfully shaping energy history for over a century. We are investing up to 20 million Euros in research and development for this project alone. Thus, we are creating a climate for an economically friendly future, secure jobs, and environmentally friendly technologies.”
Last year, Siemens Energy announced a 90 million Euros investment at the same site for a new converter production facility. In total, Siemens Energy has invested around 1 billion Euros in Germany over the past three years. In 2024, the company created approximately 1,300 new jobs in Germany, with up to 1,500 more expected by the end of 2026.
