The ABB Value Provider is a premium partnership program for our top-tier channel partners - those with the highest level of technical and segment expertise. Our Value Providers meet rigorous standards across sales, support, service, and engineering. ABB officially certifies these capabilities to ensure that these partners can deliver high-quality service and support.

Working with an ABB certified partner gives end customers greater confidence, reduced risk, and improved performance and reliability. Longterm advantages are more difficult to guarantee when working with noncertified partners. Certified partners are trained and validated by ABB, have access to our full portfolio, follow strict quality standards, and deliver superior service - advantages noncertified partners cannot guarantee.

ABB supports the development of partner expertise through a comprehensive enablement framework that includes training, tools, and hands-on support. Through this end-to-end model, ABB helps partners continuously build strong sales capabilities and deep engineering expertise, ensuring high-quality solutions and long-term customer success.

ABB provides structured access to its accredited laboratories and specialized testing facilities as part of its partner ecosystem. Certified ABB partners may access these facilities depending on their certification level, solution scope, and project requirements. This ensures that the project outcome is aligned with ABB’s quality, safety, and technical standards.
