During the anniversary ceremony, Siemens Mobility and Continental signed a letter of intent, committing to employing over 100 Continental workers in Gifhorn at the Braunschweig plant over the next five years.

The company currently employs over 4,000 professionals from more than 46 countries, including over 1,100 in production and assembly.

In its first 20 years, the company registered over 90 patents and built over 1,000 signaling systems, overseeing more than 12,000 switches and signals on railways.
