ABB, as an outstanding representative in the field of electrical and automation, has a long and glorious history.
In 1883, the electrical field emerged. Elektriska Aktiebolaget, established in Stockholm, soiled the seeds for ABB’s development. Seven years later, it merged with the company of the Wenstrom brothers to become ASEA. In 1891, Charles Eugene Lancelot Brown and Walter Boveri from Switzerland founded Brown, Boveri & Cie (BBC). In 1988, ASEA and BBC merged, and the brand-new ABB, headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, was born, becoming one of the world’s largest electrical engineering enterprises and embarking on its journey to lead the industry.
With an outstanding history of over 140 years, ABB’s approximately 105,000 employees worldwide are fully committed to promoting innovation and accelerating industrial transformation. It integrates engineering experience and software technology into solutions, which are widely applied in multiple fields such as manufacturing, transportation, energy and operation, and is committed to empowering a more sustainable and efficient future.
In terms of industrial manufacturing, ABB’s automated production lines operate efficiently. Its robotics and discrete automation business has over 11,000 employees, spread across more than 100 regions in over 50 countries around the world. For instance, FlexPicker, launched in 1998, is a Delta robot specifically designed for the picking and packaging industry and has now become a leader in high-speed robot picking and packaging technology. Launched in 2015, YuMi® is the world’s true collaborative robot, unlocking huge additional automation potential in the global industrial sector.
In the field of energy, ABB has also made outstanding contributions. It provides electricity to the world in a safe, intelligent and sustainable way, promoting the global energy transition. From the AC network connecting South Australia and Victoria through the world’s longest underground transmission in 2002 to the connection of the Xiangjiaba Hydropower Station in southwest China with Shanghai about 2,000 kilometers away through ultra-high voltage direct current transmission lines in 2010, ABB has continuously broken through technical difficulties. It provides strong support for the efficient transmission and utilization of energy.
In the field of transportation, ABB actively promotes the development of electric vehicles and designs electrified solutions for future transportation. In 2018, ABB Group joined the FIA Formula E Championship and became the title partner of the series. Through this event platform, it showcases cutting-edge electric transportation technologies and promotes the process of sustainable development.
In China, ABB also has in-depth layout and development. It has all-round business activities such as R&D, manufacturing, sales and engineering services in China. It has 27 local enterprises and 15,000 employees spread across more than 130 cities. Its online and offline channels cover about 700 cities across the country. In 2024, Ma Teng, the global president of ABB Group’s electrical business, stated that the company will further increase its investment in China by 100 million US dollars, continue to invest in China, seize the initiative in development in China, and contribute to China’s energy conservation, sustainable development, and industrial transformation.
From the global energy transition to the rise of electric transportation and the construction of smart factory automation, ABB has always been at the forefront of the trend with innovative technologies, playing a significant role in reshaping the industrial, transportation and energy landscape, and contributing to the creation of an efficient and sustainable future.
