Chippenham to
host cutting edge R&D facility
Siemens Mobility
is investing €115m to
establish a cutting-edge rail infrastructure manufacturing, digital engineering
and research & development centre in Chippenham.
“This investment
highlights the commitment to innovation, sustainability, excellence, and
meeting the growing demand for rail infrastructure in Britain and worldwide,”
the company said.
The new
facility, set to replace the existing factory in 2026, will be vital for
Siemens Mobility's future projects in rail technology, providing an efficient
site to build the next generation of conventional and digital rail signalling
and control systems for Britain. The transition will include the transfer of
all local staff, totalling approximately 800.
