Siemens and Iran have close business relations based on nearly 140 years of successful cooperation dating back to the company's earliest history. In 1859, Werner Siemens noted the importance of a concession for the telegraph line between Tiflis and Tehran in a letter to his brother Carl in St. Petersburg. In 1870, Siemens completed construction of the famed 11,000-kilometer Indo-European telegraph line, which linked London to Calcutta via Tehran.

Regular business activities between Iran and Siemens date back to 1924, when representatives of the Persian telephone company placed an order with Siemens & Halske to design, build and equip Tehran's main telephone exchange. Shortly after the Second World War, Siemens resumed its cooperation with local partners. In 1955, the Siemco S.A. agency was renamed Sherkate Sahami Khass Siemens Iran.

Today, Siemens in the Islamic Republic of Iran and its more than 350 highly qualified employees stand for innovation and progress. The company offers a comprehensive spectrum of products, systems and services, as well as complex turnkey projects - all based on unmatched experience in the field of electrical engineering and electronics. Siemens in Iran works closely with Siemens in Germany and its worldwide organization, giving it full access to the latest know-how, state-of-the-art product developments, and qualified personnel support.

Over more than a century of business relations, Siemens has become a constructive and reliable partner of Iran. The close ties between German know-how and Iranian entrepreneurial spirit - which is especially strong in the fields of power generation and distribution, and communications - are an excellent basis for continuing to build a strong and lasting partnership between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Siemens.
