Hannover/Erlangen, Germany, 2011-Apr-04With the planned reorganization of Siemens AG, the Industry Sector will systematically focus on industrial customers. The Sector intends to strengthen its vertical market and service business and further expand its leading role in industrial software. "Software for industrial processes, in-depth vertical expertise and technology-based service are crucial to increasing our customer's productivity and are also important factors driving the growth of our own business. We will continue to put all our efforts into developing our industrial activities in these areas so we can expand our market share," said Siegfried Russwurm, CEO of the Industry Sector, at the Hannover Messe. The planned reorientation of business activities scheduled on October 1, 2011, will be an important step toward more fully leveraging the potential inherent in the service business and in strong-growth vertical markets such as automotive manufacturing, mechanical engineering and the chemical industry.

Average market growth during this period will be an estimated five percent annually.
