ABB is a technology leader in electrification and automation, enabling a more sustainable and resource-efficient future. The company’s solutions connect engineering know-how and software to optimize how things are manufactured, moved, powered and operated.
ABB was formed in 1988, when the Swedish Asea and the Swiss BBC Brown Boveri merged under the name of ABB, headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. With a history of excellence spanning more than 140 years, ABB’s success is driven by about 105,000 talented employees in more than 100 countries.

After decades of fast development, ABB today has a full range of business activities in China, including R&D, manufacturing, sales and services, around 30 local companies with about 15,000 employees located in nearly 130 cities and online and offline channels in nearly 700 cities.
