Siemens AG is opening a large assembly and distribution facility in the Memphis area that will bring 150 new jobs and could hasten the return of industrial development. The German company has signed a 619,000-square-foot lease for all of Building 1 at Airways Distribution Center in Southaven. The new center should be operational by May 15. Michael Krampe, director of media relations for Siemens operating unit Siemens Industry, Inc., says the center will employ about 150 at full capacity. Electrical distribution products, controls and motors will be distributed from the facility, where some light assembly also will take place, Krampe says.
