Nearly two years after announcing a broad corporate reorganization, Siemens today said it was bringing its U.S. automation business in line with that restructuring, merging its Alpharetta, GA-based Energy & Automation group with a number of other Siemens units in the United States to form a new company.

The new company, called Siemens Industry, Inc., will be led by President and Chief Executive Daryl D. Dulaney, 56, formerly president and CEO of Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. Dennis Sadlowski, who was president of Siemens Energy & Automation, has left the company, according to a Siemens spokesman.

Siemens Industry will consist of the former Siemens Energy & Automation as well as Siemens businesses in such areas as transportation and building technologies. Six divisions form the new company: Industry Solutions, Industry Automation, Drive Technologies, Building Technologies, Mobility, and Osram Sylvania. The unit will have roughly 33,000 employees, including about 10,000 from SE&A.
