I really like the LOGO products and have been using them for a number of years, however an increasing number of my clients are now banning their use as they are marked as being made in China.

Do Siemens have any plans to move manufacturing outside China or are they content to lose ever increasing amounts of business?

 I wonder that you are telling this and a lot of applications use LOGO in Germany itself?

If you entered the "Deutsch" forum you will find a lot of posts asking about LOGO applications

Hi Neil Frankish

 Most of Automation providers worldwide are now manufacturing parts of their products in China, the other parts are indirectly manufactured in China and assembled in their country of origin. You cannot find a100% product manufactured in its country of origin.

However, for LOGO to make it in Germany instead of China this will definitely increase the price and will not compete in Micro automation systems.

That is my point of view if you need an official answer contact your nearest Siemens partner

 Hello,

Made in China does not mean "Low Quality Product" _{(all the time)}

Don't Forget that SIEMENS put their logo on it. Which means that it made in China but with SIEMENS quality.

I believe that many users and may be yourself bought some Siemens products without knowing that they moved production to China.

And another important thing to prove that Siemens manufacture in China with the same quality. Up to my knowledge they didn't changed MTBF "Mean Time Between Failure" after moving manufacturing to China.

Hope this helps.

Hope this helps.

Hi Neil,

By here you can navigate and find whenever you want. Look at left side of you monitor. You will see Navigation/Product conferences. You are now on LOGO Conferences. Choose the product you work more or which one you want to be interested.

After this, look at to the right side. You will see  "All about....... (your choice). Click on "Contacts and Partners". You will see a word map. Click in a figure that is so close to you. At left side of that word map you will see the contacts recommended from Siemens for your region. By this, you can ask them. Personally I recommend Siemens Office. In my Country I didn´t have good results for techinical informations from Simens partners.

Take in mind that industries manufacturings products in other contries (like Malasia, Indonesia, etc.) for economic questions, but with original guarantee.

In China there are original and "alternative" produts. Take care about this.  

Dear all,
