WDP has officially started construction of a new factory for Siemens in Romania, at WDP Park Sibiu, marking another milestone in the long-standing partnership between the two companies. The new facility, covering approximately 15,000 sqm, will be leased by Siemens under a 15-year agreement and developed on land owned by WDP.

The project represents an investment of approximately 14 million euros and will support Siemens’ plans to develop a data-driven manufacturing environment using its own technologies and solutions, including Siemens Digital Twin. This technology enables the precise simulation and optimisation of equipment layouts, workflows and production processes, helping identify the most efficient configurations from day one of operations.

“We are honoured that Siemens has chosen to strengthen its partnership with WDP and entrusted us with the development of its new factory at WDP Park Sibiu. This project represents an important milestone in our long-standing collaboration with Siemens, reflecting the trust built between our companies and WDP’s long-term commitment to supporting the growth and success of its customers,” said Jeroen Biermans, Country Manager of WDP Romania.

“The new factory represents both an upgrade and a partial relocation of our existing operations in Sibiu. This manufacturing facility is part of Siemens’ strategy to strengthen its global production network, with a clear focus on sustainability, digitalisation and flexibility,” added Zoltan Bone Lupas, Plant Manager at SIMEA Sibiu.
