ABB集团位列全球500强企业。集团总部位于瑞士苏黎世,并在苏黎世、斯德哥尔摩和纽约证券交易所上市交易。ABB由两个历史100多年的国际性企业-瑞典的阿西亚公司(ASEA),和瑞士的布朗 勃法瑞公司(BBC Brown Boveri) 在1988年合并而来的。
ABB与中国的关系可以追溯到上个世纪初的1907年。当时ABB向中国提供了第一台蒸汽锅炉。1974年ABB在香港设立了中国业务部,随后于1979年在北京设立了永久性办事处。1994年ABB将中国总部迁至北京,并在1995年正式注册了投资性控股公司-ABB(中国)有限公司。经过多年的快速发展,ABB迄今在中国已拥有26家合资与独资企业、在38多个主要城市设有销售与服务分公司和12,800名员工,并拥有研发、生产、销售与服务全方位业务。2005年ABB在中国的销售额达24亿美金。中国因此成为ABB全球第二大市场。2003年,ABB在《财富》、雅虎等媒体联合进行的调查中被评为中国10佳“卓越雇主”。2006年初,ABB在中国前程无忧网站组织的调查中,被大学生们评为最受欢迎的雇主之一。ABB还在2006年初将其全球机器人业务总部移至中国上海。
ABB在中国通过与当地合作伙伴的密切合作,在输配电、自动化产品和系统等方面都建立起了强大的生产基地。业务包括完整系列的电力变压器和配电变压器;高、中、低压开关应用;电气传动系统和电机等。这些产品已广泛应用于工业和电力行业。ABB追求卓越质量,其企业和产品均已成为业内的基准。 ABB在工程和项目管理方面的能力,表现在金属、制浆、化学、生命科学、汽车工业、电力行业自动化以及建筑系统等多个领域。
ABB在中国参与了众多国家重点项目的建设,如三峡电站建设和输配电工程、南水北调工程、北京奥运工程中的首都国际机场的改扩建项目、变电站项目、轻轨项目等。此外,ABB还为亚洲最大的石化项目-上海赛科、广州地铁、上海地铁、北京人民大会堂、上海通用汽车、宝钢等众多客户提供了可靠的电力或自动化技术解决方案。
