Siemens has disclosed its proposal to construct a £100 million centre of manufacturing excellence in Wiltshire, with operations slated to commence in 2026. The centre, which will replace the existing Chippenham facility, will house roughly 800 skilled manufacturing, engineering, research and reporting roles. Siemens Mobility UK & Ireland’s joint CEO Rob Morris referred to the move as a “strong commitment to Chippenham and our country,” asserting that the firm’s UK Rail division is steadfast in its commitment to digitalising rail and connecting the real and digital worlds using cloud-based rail technology.
The company’s new centre will leverage modern rail technology to transform the travel landscape, according to Morris. The development is expected to be a positive force for the local economy, as Siemens Mobility collaborates with small and medium-sized enterprises throughout the supply chain.
Siemens Mobility plans to build and develop digital signalling systems for rail travel on the East Coast Main Line and other projects. The firm’s reputation in Britain for path-breaking developments in rail travel such as the Elizabeth Line, North Wales Coast, and Birmingham New Street owes much to its Chippenham facility. The impending development of one of the country’s most advanced rail factories, engineered to host digital technology and research and development sites, is being met with excitement by Siemens Mobility and the people of Chippenham.
Overall, Siemens Mobility’s investment in Chippenham is predicted to positively impact the future of rail travel in the UK and provide a significant boost to the local economy. Britain will contribute to Siemens Mobility’s technological creativity and innovation as the company’s goal is to ensure that “There’s a piece of Britain in everything we build.”
