June 25, 2013. Watertown, CT – Siemon, a leading global network infrastructure specialist, celebrates 110 years of technology leadership and dedication to U.S.-based manufacturing. Founded in 1903 in Connecticut on the strength of founder Carl F. Siemon’s hardened plastic compounds and pioneering telecommunications technologies, the company has reached new heights through its ongoing product innovation and commitment to delivering superior service. And when many network connectivity providers have transitioned to overseas manufacturing operations, Siemon has kept the roots of its manufacturing excellence right here at home.

Located in Watertown, Connecticut, Siemon’s Global Manufacturing Headquarters was among the first manufacturers of its kind to achieve ISO:9001 and ISO:14001 certification,  underscoring the company’s commitment to product quality and environmental stewardship. The U.S. facility’s advanced metal stamping, tooling, injection molding and sheet metal forming capabilities create the components that feed its highly-automated assembly operation. That, combined with an industry-leading R&D lab and engineering team that utilizes cutting-edge technologies such as 3D printing for rapid prototyping, allows the company to take their products from new ideas to finished goods, right onsite.   Siemon manufactures a broad range of fiber and copper network connectivity and cable management products under their strict quality standards and process controls – a capability that produces the highest product quality, performance and consistency.

Siemon has a local presence in 38 countries, including a global network of certified installers, distributors and logistic centers servicing customers in over 100 countries, all backed by a worldwide team of technical and sales support experts In recent years, the company has reinforced its emphasis on supporting channel partners and customers with new capabilities and services such as dedicated inside sales representatives; the Standards Informant website to deliver up-to-date information on industry standards; and the online Contractor Pitstop resource, which provides news and information focused on helping Siemon’s contractor partners grow their businesses.

As part of its commitment to industry advancement, Siemon remains actively involved with industry associations and standards organizations around the world, including key leadership roles in TIA, ISO/IEC and IEEE. Siemon has also succeeded in enhancing value-added services through complementary partnerships and proactive marketing relationships, including becoming a Cisco Technology Developer Partner and Tier 1 IBM Business Partner.

After 110 years, Siemon’s unique family culture, product innovation, U.S. manufacturing and commitment to continuous improvement remain stronger than ever. The company’s latest copper and fiber innovations offer key performance and installation differentiators for the Data Center, LAN and Intelligent Building alike. Following are just some of Siemon’s product development milestones:

• Z-MAX® 6A shielded and UTP solution with the highest category 6A/class EA margins and fastest termination time

• TERA® fully-shielded solution that offers the highest twisted-pair copper cabling performance available

• Pre-terminated MTP Fiber Plug and Play assemblies for 10, 40 and 100Gbs applications

• BladePatch® LC fiber jumpers that revolutionize high-density patching with a patented push-pull boot design

• VersaPOD® Data Center cabinet with Zero-U patching and cable management for improved air flow and efficiency

• Feature-rich V600 Cabinet for lightweight stability, accessibility and superior airflow
