What is the idea of a Metal Forming group within Siemens?
Worldwide, our customers know we have a wide range of products. We are into the manufacturing of Gas Turbines, Medical Equipment and Industrial Products. Normally, these Products are not enough for our end customers or the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and they expect and want more from us especially in terms of newer know-how and technologies.

They expect solutions from us and we constantly work towards this goal of giving our customers what they want.

In the Industrial Product segment, there is the metal forming group from Siemens that I am in charge of that offers solutions that are tailor made for the metal forming industry.

Which technology do you offer your customers or the OEMs?
Our end customers are OEMs who in turn offer solutions to the end customers such as the press shop in factories and large industries. These applications are of course the core of the press shop. There are conventional fly wheel presses, hydraulic presses and the latest in the offering is the Servo presses.

There are other equipment like handling equipments etc. All of these solutions require different packages and solutions and we offer ready to apply software packages to our OEMs.

Can we buy a press or a handling or handling system from Siemens?
Siemens, world over, in this segment works closely with the OEMs and supplies the software system to them only as they are our end customers. They in turn offer total solutions to their end customers with our technology as a part of the package.
