Since the foundation of a liaison office in Korea in 1967, the company has been taking the initiative in creating various business cooperation with Korean companies based on its advanced technology and global experience. Siemens Korea has grown alongside Korea’s industrial and economic development while taking the lead in the expansion of R&D and manufacturing in Korea through intensive investment.
