You’ll also notice that some of our well-known brands like Baldor and Thomas & Betts have been absorbed into the overall ABB brand. Same great products, now under one name: ABB.

Each year, at the height of ACW we like to let loose and have fun with all our customers, employees, and partners. Last year, we rocked out to The Molly Ringwalds, listened to tunes spun by our very own YuMi robot, and enjoyed the crooning of our house band Digital Output. What could possibly be in store for the 2019 event? You'll have to wait to see.
