November 2010 Siemens in Saudi Arabia

For more than 75 years, Siemens has been active in Saudi Arabia, where its Industry, Energy and Healthcare Sectors hold leading positions, while IT Solutions and Services operates across all three Sectors. Siemens currently has about 1,800 employees in Saudi Arabia.

In fiscal 2010, Siemens in Saudi Arabia scored major successes in all three Sectors:

Industry Sector The Mobility Division contributed to the automation of the railway line between the port city of Dammam and the capital Riyadh by providing cutting-edge signaling and telecommunications technology. The 449-km-long section of the line reserved for passenger service was equipped with the European Train Control System (ETCS), marking the first-ever use of this technology in the Arab world. The installed hardware was adapted to the extreme temperature conditions in Saudi Arabia.

Siemens Industry Solutions Division has received an order to provide demineralization and condensate polishing equipment for the new Marafiq Yanbu power plant in Yanbu. The new plant will allow Marafiq to increase its power generation capacity to better serve industries based in the cities of Yanbu and Jubail. The multi-million-dollar water treatment systems are scheduled for start-up in 2011.

Energy Sector The worlds largest greenfield integrated state-of-the-art water and power project, the Shuaibah Project near Jeddah, utilizes one of Siemens cleanest steam power plants to generate power and desalinate water for the region of Makkah, Taif, and Jeddah.

Siemens recently completed a EUR 155-million project for Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) to provide harmonized grid solutions for a major substation in Saudi Arabia. The 380-kV substation adds 1,000 MVA of secure power transmission capacity to the Saudi Arabian grid, helping the

country keep pace with the rapidly growing demand for power. As the projects turnkey partner, Siemens provided technical solutions at all stages of the construction, installation, testing and commissioning of the substation.

Healthcare Sector Siemens Healthcare Sector executed a turnkey project for the King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre in Jeddah. The renovation and upgrade of the complete radiology department required various Siemens medical products, systems and solutions that enable the hospital to optimize its workflows and improve the efficiency and quality of patient care.

Siemens in Saudi Arabia is committed to supporting the careers of young Saudis through targeted professional recruitment programs. Our global program, Siemens Caring Hands, provides socio-economic support to under-privileged communities. The Siemens Generation21 program strongly supports educational activities with its innovative Discovery Box initiative aimed to inspire tomorrows young scientists, engineers and doctors.

We owe much of what we have achieved in this time to our partner and sponsor, EA Juffali & Brothers - one of Saudi Arabias largest and most respected diversified business groups.
