Large-scale orders from abroad ensured further expansion of the business in the 1850s. Siemens & Halske began work on constructing the Russian telegraph network in 1853 and the English network in 1858. Werner Siemens and his brothers who were working abroad for the company won numerous accolades for their accomplishments. The English Queen Victoria knighted Wilhelm Siemens in 1883, while Werner Siemens was elevated to the peerage by the German Emperor Frederick III in 1888 and the Russian Tsar, Nikolaus II, knighted Carl Siemens in 1895.<ref>Siemens AG (Ed): 150 Jahre Siemens, pages 10-11.</ref>

Siemens & Halske expanded its product portfolio to cover the entire field of electrical engineering through other specialist subsidiaries and associated companies. For example, Siemens & Halske was also active in the area of automobile manufacturing for a brief period between 1908 and 1926. Regarded as very progressive even by today's standards, the company was already building electric vehicles at this time that were as advanced technically as the combustion engine vehicles it also manufactured.<ref>Siemens AG (Ed): 150 Jahre Siemens, pages 28-29.</ref>

The Siemens factory buildings and plants were devastated by the bombardment of industrial installations by the Allies in 1945.

With the global triumph of the electronics industry, Siemens also succeeded in achieving rapid economic growth.

When production was restored in the 1950s, the portfolio included the entire range of [[Siemens_small_appliances|small appliances]], white and brown goods, as the home appliances (white) and entertainment equipment (brown) were known to reflect their typical colors. The business grew rapidly. Siemens produced home appliances at the Berlin and Traunreut locations and then also in Ratingen-Lintorf from 1961 with the acquisition of washing machine manufacturer Constructa. The first signs of saturation on the home appliance market were starting to appear by the mid-1960s. Siemens Electrogeräte founded Bosch-Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH together with the home appliances group of Robert Bosch GmbH in 1967. The two companies consolidated their production and thus succeeded in remaining competitive in an increasingly tough market. BSH<ref>BSH was founded in 1967 as Bosch-Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH - BSHG for short. In 1998, the name was changed to BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH, with the short form BSH. Since the sale of the Siemens shares in BSH to Robert Bosch GmbH the company’s name is now BSH Hausgeräte GmbH, but still BSH for short.</ref> has continued operating successfully to this day. Siemens pulled out of direct customer business in the new millennium. The share in BSH was sold to Robert Bosch GmbH in 2015 as the final consumer segment.

The company group was constantly remodeling in the 1990s and early 2000s. The semiconductor division was spun off as Infineon Technologies AG in 1999, for example, while the Siemens Mobile mobile phone arm was sold to the Taiwanese company BenQ in 2005. Siemens concentrated increasingly on the industrial sector. As the final consumer product segments, the majority of shares in Osram were sold in 2013 and the complete shareholding in BSH Hausgeräte in 2015.
