Siemens has inaugurated a new,
larger service and repair center in Karachi for generators and motors, extending
the range of services offered to cater for increasing customer demand in
Pakistan.
The new center, housed at the
Siemens Pakistan head office building in Karachi, employs around 30 people and
provides facilities and technology for the overhaul, rewinding, emergency
repair and testing of motors and generators of up to 10 megawatts (MW). The
larger service center has enabled Siemens to accommodate more jobs
simultaneously, introduce testing for low-voltage motors, install a complete
machining facility and fit cranes with an increased weight capacity of 30 tons.
“Pakistan is an important market for Siemens and
the country’s dynamic growth presents great opportunities, especially in the
fields of infrastructure and energy,” said Helmut von Struve, MD of Siemens in
Pakistan. “The inauguration of our new facility extends the range of services
we offer, drives job creation and enhances our capability to efficiently address
the needs of our customers, and Pakistan’s economic development.”
The inauguration event was attended
by Rainer Schmiedchen, Consul-General of Germany in Pakistan, who highlighted
the fact that diplomatic relations between Pakistan and Germany were
established in 1950, with the two nations collaborating in the fields of
culture, society, education and economic development.
Siemens has been a key
provider of infrastructure solutions to Pakistan since 1947, implementing
technology for power generation, transmission and distribution, industrial
automation and solutions for innovative building management systems.
