The Norwood Motor Manufacturing Plant, originally built in 1898, was the first manufacturing facility in Norwood, Ohio.  It is also one of Siemens' oldest manufacturing facilities in the world.  Siemens spent more than $17 million to purchase new machinery and equipment including $8.5 million in machinery and equipment used for research and development.  The $30 million expansion was completed in 2007.  In 2009 the Norwood Plant was awarded "Top plant of the Year 2009" by Plant Engineering Magazine. www.usa.siemens.com/en/somewhere_in_america/norwood_oh.htm
