Siemens (Pakistan) Engineering Company Limited (Urdu: سیمنز پاکستان) is a Pakistani engineering services company headquartered in Karachi.[3] It is a subsidiary of Siemens AG.

Active since 1953, Siemens Pakistan is one of the largest providers of engineering services and management in the country, with overseeing ongoing projects in healthcare, defence development, energy,[4] telecommunications, computer expansion and heavy construction management.[5]

History

[edit]

Siemens presence in the region dates back to 1870 with the construction of the Indo-European telegraph line from London to Calcutta. Siemens established its first office in the area now known as Pakistan in 1922.[6][7]

In 1952, Siemens formed a joint venture with the Government of Pakistan to establish the Telephone Industries of Pakistan (TIP), a telephone equipment manufacturing company, with 30 percent stake.[8][9] TIP produced rotary telephones branded with "TIP" on their dials, which were commonly used in many Pakistani households during the 1990s and earlier.[8] These telephones were manufactured at the TIP facility in Haripur, which was established with Siemens' assistance.[8] Siemens formally incorporated its subsidiary in Pakistan as a private limited company in 1953, and later reorganized as a public limited company in 1963.[6] When founded, Siemens Pakistan was originally focused on providing the network of communications, but its role in the energy sector has grown since 1987.[6][10][11]

In July 1978, Siemens was listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange.[8][12]

Since 1997, Siemens has awarded medals to engineering students across Pakistani universities and runs a three-year apprenticeship course in Karachi.[6]

By 2002, over 50 percent of telephone networks in Pakistan were using Siemens Pakistan's EWSD technology.[13]

In 2005, Siemens acquired Carrier Telephone Industries from PTCL under the privatization scheme of the Government of Pakistan.[14][15]

In April 2015, Siemens sold its distribution transformer manufacturing business along with assets of land and building in Sindh Industrial and Trading Estate for $32 million.[16][17]

In August 2015, Siemens Pakistan decided to transfer its healthcare business sector to a private limited company headquartered in Lahore, Pakistan.[18] In December 2015, healthcare business ownership was transferred to the German company Siemens Healthcare.[19]
