ABB Electrification Canada Inc

ABB Canada was established through the global formation of the ABB Group in 1988 from the merger of ASEA and Brown, Boveri & Cie (BBC). As a result, ABB Canada began operations by integrating the Canadian activities of these predecessor companies, which already had over a century of history in the nation, particularly with its local presence in power, automation, and electrical products.
