Siemens Egypt announces Sunday that Maximilian Egger has been appointed as the managing director. Egger succeeds Mohamed El-Mahdi, who has served as CEO and Managing Director of Siemens Egypt since 2006. El-Mahdi will move to Siemens' main headquarters in Germany, to perform his new position. Maximilian Egger's previous responsibilities include Chief Executive Officer of Siemens Ukraine since August 2008, Acting Director General and Head of Power Generation Department. Egger worked with Siemens for over 35 years and has experience in the realization of projects in a number of countries. The history of Siemens in Egypt dates back to 1901, when Siemens opened its first technical office in Cairo. The company's long-term commitment to Egypt was under-scored in 1992, when Siemens Limited was established to handle all Siemens sales and service activities in Egypt. Since October 1998, Siemens Limited has been a consolidated Regional Company, with the goal of further expanding and strengthening Siemens' business relations with Egypt. On October 1st, 2008, Siemens Limited changed its legal form to become Siemens S.A.E.
