Since China’s opening up in the 1980s, ABB has collaborated with the country’s industries across multiple sectors, supplying technologies and solutions to help our partners operate with greater efficiency and sustainability.
By enabling them to run smoothly and become more productive, we are making an important contribution to China’s energy transition, the development of its infrastructure and the upgrading of its industries.
Since delivering China’s first steam boiler in 1907, our activities in the country have grown to encompass:
More than 14,000 employees
The full range of business activities covering R&D, manufacturing, sales and service
A presence in more than 100 cities, with 10 main manufacturing facilities and hubs
Around 30 local companies, six of which are ranked among China top 100 electrical companies
Eight factories certified as national “Green Factory” and four as national “Green Supply Chain”
Across the decades, we have also participated in the construction of many of China’s key infrastructure projects to expand access to electricity, water, transport and the internet.
And as ABB Formula E returns to China this weekend, for the second Shanghai E-Prix, we’re highlighting some of the ways in which ABB is helping Chinese industry to outrun – leaner and cleaner.
