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.
