ABB Group is a Swedish-Swiss multinational corporation specializing in electrical engineering, automation, power, and robotics technologies. Incorporated in Switzerland as ABB Ltd. and headquartered in Zurich, the company is a global leader in industrial innovation and digital transformation.

ABB was established in 1988 through the merger of ASEA (Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget) of Sweden and Brown, Boveri & Cie of Switzerland—two 19th-century pioneers in electrical manufacturing. Since then, ABB has evolved into one of the world’s foremost technology companies, driving advancements in power generation, transmission, industrial automation, and robotics.

Historically, ABB also participated in railway rolling stock manufacturing from 1989 to 1999 and has expanded globally through numerous acquisitions across Europe, Asia, and North America. Today, ABB continues to focus on electrification, automation, motion, and robotics as part of its commitment to sustainable industrial solutions.
