Siemens Energy Plans Fort Payne, Alabama, Manufacturing Operations

02/09/2026
Global energy technology company Siemens Energy plans to expand its operations in Fort Payne, Alabama. The project is expected to create 120 jobs in DeKalb County.

The company will expand production of copper and insulated electrical components for generators at its existing manufacturing facility.

“We need more electricity to fuel our daily lives and our growing economy, and that has increased demand for our equipment,” said Matt Neal, Siemens Energy’s President of North America. “Throughout the country we are expanding manufacturing and hiring more workers and doing so in places like Fort Payne where we already have a great workforce, a robust pipeline of talent and strong partnerships within the community.”

Siemens Energy develops, manufactures, and services energy solutions, from conventional and renewable power generation equipment like gas and steam turbines to wind turbines, grid technology, transformers, and energy storage systems, serving utilities, industrial, and infrastructure markets. The company currently operates in more than 90 countries.

“Siemens Energy’s expansion in Fort Payne is a tremendous vote of confidence in the highly-skilled local workforce and underscores the strong community partnerships with business in our state,” noted Alabama Department of Commerce Secretary Ellen McNair. “We are excited to watch this new phase of growth unfold and stand ready to help the company achieve its future strategic goals and innovations.”

“The work being done at the Siemens Energy manufacturing plant in Fort Payne is literally helping generate reliable power around the globe, and that is the kind of work we can all be proud to say is made right here in DeKalb County,” added Brett Johnson, executive director of the DeKalb County Economic Development Authority.
