Earlier this year, Siemens initiated a worldwide re-organization effort with the clear goal to further strengthen its customer focus by providing an even more efficient organizational structure to foster less complexity and faster responsiveness to our customers’ needs. As a result, we are consolidating the Power Generation and Power Transmission and Distribution businesses and portions of the Energy & Automation business into a single group, known as the "Siemens Energy Sector."

As of October 1, 2008, our U.S. business is called Siemens Energy, Inc. to better reflect the comprehensive scope of our Energy business. With this change, you can continue to count on us to provide the same high level of quality and service to which you are accustomed from Siemens.
