Siemens Turkey has once again demonstrated its technological strength and production quality in energy infrastructure. The Siemens Integrated Production Facility, which has been operating in Gebze since 2009, successfully produced the 100,000th medium-voltage distribution panel, once again demonstrating its capacity to meet the needs of Turkish industry and the global energy market. Siemens Turkey Chairman and CEO Hüseyin Gelis commented, “I would like to thank all our colleagues who contributed to this success. With these products, which we export to more than 50 countries, the Siemens Integrated Production Facility clearly demonstrates Turkey’s status as a global player.”
Siemens Turkey has achieved another significant milestone in energy distribution technologies. By producing the 100,000th medium-voltage distribution panel, the Siemens Integrated Production Facility has once again demonstrated both its technological and engineering competence in Turkey and its global manufacturing strength. Siemens Turkey Chairman and CEO Hüseyin Gelis stated, “The safe and sustainable transmission of energy has become one of the most important issues worldwide.” With our electrical distribution panels that enable electricity to reach users, Siemens Turkey is shaping not only today’s but also the future’s energy.
The 100,000th medium voltage panel is not just a production unit; it is a symbol of holistic success in various areas, from digitalization to environmental sustainability, from engineering strength to human resources. I thank all our colleagues who contributed to this success. The Siemens Integrated Production Facility clearly demonstrates Turkey’s status as a global player.” We Create Added Value for the World
Veli Turgut, Siemens Turkey’s Electrification and Automation Factory Director, said, “Today, we are a globally exemplary leader not only in production but also in terms of digitalization, engineering capabilities, and renewable energy use. The Gebze Siemens Integrated Production Facility produces more than 7,000 NXAIR series panels annually. These panels represent sustainable technology with their environmentally friendly construction, SF6-free, 10-year maintenance-free design, and a service life exceeding 30 years. With these products, which we export to more than 50 countries, we create added value from Turkey to the world.”
First LEED Gold Certified Facility
The facility, which first produced in Kartal in 1961, became Turkey’s first ISO 9001 quality certification in 1990. In 2009, due to increased capacity requirements, it moved to the Gebze Organized Industrial Zone. The facility, with a 21,750 square meter indoor area, employs 755 people and offers environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions that meet global quality standards in the production of medium and low voltage panels. The facility also holds the distinction of being the first industrial production facility in Turkey to receive LEED Gold Certification.
Transformed into a Technology Center
The Gebze Siemens Integrated Manufacturing Facility operates as one of Siemens’ major global production bases. A R&D center since 2013, the facility enhances production efficiency through digital technologies such as digital twin applications, predictive maintenance solutions, and remote acceptance testing (FAT). The recently developed OneX platform enables real-time, integrated digital management of all processes, from ordering to production and from production to delivery.
A Leader in Sustainability
The facility, which achieved a 60 percent capacity increase, 70 percent logistics savings, and 30 percent production efficiency through digitalization efforts, operates with 100 percent green energy in line with its sustainability goals, while 75 percent of wastewater and 35 percent of materials are reused. With this success, Siemens Turkey has once again proven that it continues to offer not only products but also solutions with high environmental responsibility, engineering value, and that will support the energy infrastructures of the future.
