ABB
ABB Ltd. is a multinational corporation that has a rich history spanning over a century. The company was formed in 1988 after a merger between two major electrical equipment manufacturers, Sweden's Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget (ASEA) and Switzerland's Brown, Boveri & Cie, which was later abbreviated as ABB. The company is headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland, and has a global presence in various industries, including electrification, automation, robotics, and power grids.
With a focus on sustainability and resource efficiency, ABB is a technology leader in electrification and automation. The company's solutions integrate engineering knowledge and software to optimize manufacturing, transportation, power supply, and operations. ABB's workforce of 105,000 employees is committed to driving innovations that accelerate industrial transformation and advance global progress.
ABB's global impact and reputation for excellence have earned it a place on the Fortune Global 500 list for 24 consecutive years. Until 2020, when it sold its Power Grids division, ABB was Switzerland's largest industrial employer. The company is traded on multiple stock exchanges, including the SIX Swiss Exchange in Zürich, Nasdaq Stockholm in Sweden, and the New York Stock Exchange in the United States.
Today, as one of the largest manufacturing companies in Switzerland, ABB continues to develop innovative technologies that address the world's most pressing challenges, including climate change, urbanization, and sustainable economic growth. Its rich history and current achievements demonstrate the company's commitment to excellence and its continued pursuit of creating a better world through advanced technology.
