Owing to its various localised operations in different countries, Siemens has also been listed on multiple stock exchanges that include: London, Vienna, Zurich, Geneva, Amsterdam, Paris, Basel and Brussels. Siemens also made its first listing on the New York Stock Exchange in 2001, but later delisted in 2014 to simplify its financial reporting and improve efficiency. Siemens continues to trade on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol SIEGY. It was then known as Siemens & Halske and was only reincorporated as Siemens AG in 1966 after performing a major restructuring that saw all its subsidiaries brought under one roof. Siemens first entered the capital markets on June 3 rd, 1897, when it was converted into a stock corporation. Initially a survival tactic, Siemens incorporated innovation as part of its core philosophy, and in its quest for global domination, the company has not only managed to change itself but has also shaped the technological path of our world. Siemens started out by building long distance telegraph lines, and a sales crisis early on in its history led the company on its path of ‘internationality’. The company is headquartered in Berlin and also in Munich, Germany.

As one of the largest European industrial manufacturing companies, Siemens AG began its story on October 12 th, 1847, when it was founded by Werner von Siemens and Johann Georg Halske in Berlin, which was then part of the Kingdom of Prussia. ‘Ingenuity for life’ is the Siemens company motto, and for over 170 years, the company has been a global technology pioneer in the areas of electrification, automation and digitalization.
