ABB is a global leader in power and automation technologies.  Based in Zurich, Switzerland, the company employs 150,000 people and operates in approximately 100 countries.  The firm’s shares are traded on the stock exchanges of Zurich, Stockholm and New York.

ABB’s business is comprised of five divisions that are in turn organized in relation to the customers and industries we serve. 

The company in its current form was created in 1988, but its history spans over 120 years.  ABB’s success has been driven particularly by a strong focus on research and development.  The company maintains seven corporate research centers around the world and has continued to invest in R&D through all market conditions.

The result has been a long track record of innovation.  Many of the technologies that underlie our modern society, from high-voltage DC power transmission to a revolutionary approach to ship propulsion, were developed or commercialized by ABB.  Today, ABB stands as the largest supplier of industrial motors and drives, the largest provider of generators to the wind industry, and the largest supplier of power grids worldwide.
