New Chief Executive Officer appointed for Siemens Saudi Arabia

He will succeed Mr. Christian Selch. Siemens Limited thanks Mr. Selch for his leadership and contribution over the years and wishes Mr. Kahlbau great success.

As a world leader in industry, energy and healthcare, Siemens has grown to hold leading positions in these sectors in the Kingdom with more than 1,800 employees countrywide. Siemens activities in Saudi Arabia date back to the early 1930s when the country imported its first power plant equipment.

From the very beginning Siemens has made a significant contribution to the development of the country's infrastructure. One third of the power used in the Kingdom is generated and distributed by Siemens.

Today, Siemens in Saudi Arabia is committed to supporting the careers of young Saudis through targeted professional recruitment and training programs. The company also proactively supports the government's efforts to effect social change in the country by recruiting Saudi women.
