The Simmering-Graz-Pauker AG (SGP), originally founded as Simmering-Graz-Pauker AG for engine rooms, boiler and wagon was one of the most important Austrian machine and engine factories in the 20th century. It was created in 1941 through the merger of Simmeringer Maschinen- und Waggonbau-Aktiengesellschaft with Grazer Maschinen- und Waggonbau-Aktiengesellschaft and Paukerwerk Aktiengesellschaft from Vienna. In 1989 the company was split. The plant in Vienna is now a manufacturer of tram and underground trains. The plant in Graz is now part of the Siemens group and produces parts for locomotives.
history
After the Second World War , the company was majority-owned by the state and had an extensive network of international offices and branches in Asia, South America and Europe with several thousand employees. The company experienced rapid growth until the mid-1980s.
In the course of the restructuring of the Österreichische Industrieholding Aktiengesellschaft (ÖIAG), Simmering-Graz-Pauker (SGP) was split into SGP Verkehrstechnik GmbH and SGP-VA Energie- und Umwelttechnik GmbH , with the latter being part of VOEST -Alpine were added. In 1992 Siemens AG Austria took a 26 percent stake in SGP Verkehrstechnik GmbH and in 1993 bought a further 48 percent. The remaining 26 percent remained in the possession of Austrian Industries , a wholly owned subsidiary of ÖIAG. With the entry of Siemens and a realignment, the exclusive dependency on ÖBB orders was eliminated. For example, in 1985 SGP was still almost 100 percent dependent on orders from ÖBB, so the ÖBB share of SGP sales in 1994 was only 20 percent.
In 1996 the name was changed to Siemens SGP Verkehrstechnik GmbH . However, this name was given up on April 1, 2004. Until September 30, 2009, the former SGP factories were part of " Siemens Transportation Systems Austria GmbH & Co KG". On October 1, 2009, the company was converted to a stock corporation and has been operating as Siemens AG Austria ever since . The factories at Siemens have been converted from full-range suppliers into specialized competence centers.
