Siemens Industry focuses on sustainability with software and system solutions for energy efficiency

At this year’s Hanover Fair, Siemens is setting out to answer some of industry’s most pressing questions with an integral array of automation solutions for industrial processes: “The combination of industrial software with automation technology provides the key to a considerably shorter time-to-market of new products and a clearly faster Return on Invest”, explained Anton Huber, CEO of the Industry Automation Division, at Tuesday’s press conference in the run-up to the Hanover Fair. Klaus Helmrich, CEO of the Drive Technologies Division, described “seamless drive trains for energy-efficient, reliable production” as a “main lever to achieving a sharper competitive edge”, and Industry Solutions Division CEO Jens Wegmann emphasized how “solutions aimed at energy saving and protecting the environment offer sustainable economic benefits”. Siemens succeeded in generating revenue of 35 billion euro with its industry business in fiscal 2009, and considers itself well positioned to further gain market share despite of difficult economic times.
