In a major win for California’s technology and manufacturing sectors, global industrial giant Siemens has announced a $285 million investment aimed at expanding U.S.-based production facilities. A large portion of this funding will be directed toward a new advanced manufacturing plant in Pomona, California, designed to produce cutting-edge electrical components and smart solutions critical for powering data centers, next-generation factories, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and smart grids.
The new facility is expected to create more than 900 skilled jobs and will serve as a cornerstone in Siemens’ strategy to localize production and reduce dependency on fragile international supply chains. According to Siemens’ leadership, this investment also aligns with their commitment to sustainability and decarbonization, as the factory will utilize energy-efficient processes and renewable power sources.
This strategic expansion comes at a time when other major players, such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., are investing billions in the U.S., signaling a new era of domestic manufacturing focused on technology, automation, and resilience. In Southern California, known for its innovative spirit and proximity to leading universities, this move is expected to supercharge the region’s industrial ecosystem. The Siemens plant will also offer apprenticeships and partner with local schools to train the next generation of manufacturing and technology professionals.
For California, this investment cements the state’s growing reputation as more than just a hub for software development and entertainment — it’s becoming a nucleus for high-tech manufacturing, sustainable innovation, and global industrial leadership.
