The Belgian entity of ABB, a global technology leader in electrification, robotics, automation, and motion. ABB Belgium provides a full range of products, systems, and services to utilities, industry, and infrastructure clients.
While ABB has some specialized production activities in Belgium (e.g., medium-voltage cubicles), its primary local function is not large-scale manufacturing. The core services are sales, engineering, system integration, project management, and a wide range of lifecycle services (maintenance, repair, upgrades) for its extensive product portfolio.
ABB is a key technology partner for Belgian manufacturers. They provide industrial robots for applications like welding, assembly, and palletizing; a full range of motors and variable speed drives for machine control and energy savings; process control systems (DCS) for industries like chemicals and pharma; and a complete portfolio of low- and medium-voltage electrical products.
Expertise across a vast technology portfolio, including industrial robots (IRB series), variable speed drives (ACS series), PLC and automation controllers, process control systems (e.g., System 800xA), and a full range of electrification products from smart home systems to large-scale grid solutions and EV chargers.
Utilities, Industry (e.g., Food & Beverage, Pharmaceuticals, Chemicals, Automotive), Transportation, and Infrastructure.
Not applicable for the local sales and service entity. The parent company uses a wide range of metals, plastics, and electronic components to build its products.
Yes, ABB provides extensive digital tools for engineers. This includes 2D/3D CAD files for its products, BIM objects for its electrification portfolio, and RobotStudio®, a powerful simulation and offline programming software for its robots.
Global R&D is a cornerstone of ABB's strategy. While major research centers are located abroad, the Belgian entity collaborates with local customers and universities on innovative applications of ABB technology.
The company adheres to the highest quality and safety standards, holding certifications like ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environment), ISO 45001 (Health & Safety), and VCA (a Benelux safety standard) for its service operations.
ABB has numerous references in Belgium, such as installing robotic automation cells in automotive and general industry factories, implementing energy-saving drive systems in large industrial facilities (e.g., chemical plants), and providing the high-power charging infrastructure for electric bus fleets in major Belgian cities.
