History of ABB India limited
Formation and early years

On 10 August 1987, ASEA and BBC Brown Boveri announced they would merge
to form ABB Asia Brown Boveri.[9] The new corporation was to be based in Zurich,
Switzerland, with each parent company holding 50 percent. At the time, both
companies were considered leaders in a field then known as the "electro technical
industry." The merger between these two medium-sized companies created a global
industrial group with revenue of $18 billion and 160,000 employees.
When ABB began operations on 5 January 1988, its core operations included power
generation, transmission and distribution; electric transportation; and industrial
automation and robotics.
In its first year, ABB made some 15 acquisitions, including the environmental
control group Flak AB of Sweden, the contracting group Sadelmi/Cogepi of Italy,
and the railway manufacturer Scandia-Randers A/S of Denmark.
In 1989, ABB purchased an additional 40 companies, including Westinghouse
Electric's transmission and distribution assets, and announced an agreement to
purchase the Stamford, Connecticut-based Combustion Engineering (C-E). These
two major acquisitions broadened ABB's worldwide power transmission and
distribution operations within the United States.
The following year, ABB bought the robotics business of Cincinnati Milacron in the
US. The acquisition expanded ABB's presence in automated spot-welding and
positioned the company to better serve the American automotive industry. ABB's
1991 introduction of the IRB 6000 robot, demonstrated its increased capacity in this
field. The first modular robot, the IRB 6000, can be reconfigured to perform a variety
of specific tasks. At the time of its launch, the IRB 6000 was the fastest and most
accurate spot-welding robot on the market.

In the early 1990s, ABB started expanding in Central and Eastern Europe. By the
end of 1991, the company employed 10,000 people in the region. The following
year, that number doubled. A similar pattern played out in Asia, where economic
reforms in China and the lifting of some Western sanctions, helped open the region
to a new wave of outside investment and industrial growth. By 1994, ABB had
30,000 employees and 100 plants, engineering, service and marketing centers across
Asia - numbers that would continue to grow. Through the 1990s, ABB continued its
strategy of targeted expansion in Eastern Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and the
Americas.

In 1995, ABB agreed to merge its rail engineering unit with that of Daimler-Benz
AG of Germany. The goal was to create the world's largest maker of locomotives
and railway cars. The new company, ABB Daimler-Benz Transportation (Adtranz),
had an initial global market share of nearly 12 percent. The merge took effect on 1
January 1996.
A few months after the July 1997 Asian financial crisis, ABB announced plans to
accelerate its expansion in Asia. The company also acted to improve the productivity
and profitability of its Western operations, taking an $850 million restructuring
charge as it shifted more resources to emerging markets and scaled back some
facilities in higher-cost countries.
In 1998, ABB acquired Sweden-based Alfa Laval's automation unit, which at the
time was one of Europe's top suppliers of process control systems and automation
equipment.
As a final step in the integration of the companies formerly known as ASEA and
BBC, in 1999 the directors unanimously approved a plan to create a unified, single
class of shares in the group.

That same year, ABB completed its purchase of Elsag Bailey Process Automation,
a Netherlands-based maker of industrial control systems, for $2.1 billion The
acquisition increased ABB's presence in the high-tech industrial robotics and factory
control system sectors, which reducing its reliance on traditional heavy engineering
sectors such as power generation and transmission.

Shift in business focus

In 1999, the company sold its stake in the Adtranz train-building business to
DaimlerChrysler. Instead of building complete locomotives, ABB's transportation
activities shifted increasingly toward traction motors and electric components
That same year, ABB and France-based Alstom, announced the merger of their
power generation businesses in a 50-50 joint company, ABB Alstom Power.
Separately, ABB agreed to sell its nuclear power business to British Nuclear Fuels of
the United Kingdom
In 2000, ABB divested its interests in ABB Alstom Power and sold its boiler and
fossil-fuel operations to Alstom Thereafter, ABB's power business was focused on
renewable energy and transmission and distribution.
In 2002, ABB announced its first-ever annual loss, a $691 million net loss for
2001. The loss was caused by ABB's decision to nearly double its provisions for
settlement costs in asbestos-related litigation against Combustion Engineering in the
US from $470 million to $940 million. The claims were linked to asbestos products
sold by Combustion Engineering prior to its acquisition by ABB.
At the same time, ABB's board announced it would seek the return of money "paid
in excess of obligations to Goran Lindahl and to Percy Barnevik," two former chief
executive officers of the group. Barnevik received some $89 million in pension
benefits when he left ABB in 2001; Lindahl, who succeeded Barnevik as CEO, had
received $50 million in pension benefits.
In 2005, ABB delisted its shares from the London Stock Exchange and Frankfurt
Stock Exchange.
In 2006, ABB put an end to its financial uncertainties by finalizing a $1.43 billion
plan to settle asbestos liabilities against its US subsidiaries, Combustion Engineering
and ABB Lummus Global, Inc. In August 2007, ABB Lummus Global, ABB's
downstream oil and gas business, was sold to CB&I. In 2004, ABB had sold its
upstream oil and gas business, ABB Vetco Gray. ABB's plan going forward was to
support the oil and gas industry with its core automation and power technology
businesses.
In 2008, ABB agreed to acquire Kuhlman Electric Corporation, a US-based maker
of transformers for the industrial and electric utility sectors. In December 2008, ABB
acquired Ber-Mac Electrical and Instrumentation to expand its presence in Western
Canada's oil and gas industries.

On 10 January 2011, ABB invested $10 million in ECOtality, a San Francisco-based

developed of charging stations and power storage technologies, to enter North
America's electric vehicle charging market. On July 1, ABB announced the
acquisition of Epyon B.V. of the Netherlands, an early leader in the European EV-
charging infrastructure and maintenance markets.
In 2011, ABB acquired Baldor Electric for $4.2 billion in an all-crash transaction.
The move aligned with ABB's strategy to increase its market share in the North
American industrial motors business.
On 30 January 2012, ABB acquired Thomas & Betts, a North American leader in
low voltage products for industrial, construction and utility applications, in a $3.9
billion cash transaction. On June 15, 2012, it completed the acquisition of
commercial and industrial wireless technology specialists Tropos.
In July 2013, ABB acquired Power-One in a $1 billion all-cash transaction, to
become the leading global manufacturer of solar inverters Also in
2013, Fastned [nl] selected ABB to supply more than 200 Terra fast-charging
stations along highways in the Netherlands. Ulrich Spiesshofer was named ABB's
CEO, succeeding Joe Hogan.
On 6 July 2017, ABB announced it had completed its acquisition of Bernecker +
Rainer Industrie-Elektronik (B&R), the largest independent provider of product and
software-based, open-architecture for machine and factory automation.
In 2018, ABB became the title partner of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship,
the world's first fully electric international FIA motorsport series.
On 30 June 2018, ABB completed its acquisition of GE Industrial Solutions, General
Electric's global electrification business.
On 17 December 2018, ABB announced it had agreed to sell 80.1% of its Power
Grids business to Hitachi. The transaction, which places a value of $11 billion on
the business, is expected to close in the first half of 2020.
In March 2020, ABB announced that it had agreed to sell its inverter business to
Italian inverter manufacturer Fimer. The transaction includes all of ABB's
manufacturing and R&D sites in Finland, Italy and India, along with 800 employees
across 26 countries.

Major product launches and innovations

In 1990, ABB launched Azipod, a family of electric propulsion systems that extends
below the hulls of large ships, providing both thrust and steering functions.
Developed in corporation with the Finnish shipbuilder Masa-Yards, Azipod has
demonstrated the viability of hybrid-electric power in seagoing vessels, while also
increasing maneuverability, fuel efficiency and space efficiency.
In 1998, ABB launched the FlexPicker, a robot using a three-armed delta design
uniquely suited to the picking and packing industry.

In 2000, ABB brought to market the world's first commercial, high-voltage, shore-
to-ship electric power, at the Swedish port of Gothenburg. Powering berthed ships
electricity from the shore, enables vessels to shut down their engines while in port,
significantly reducing noise, vibrations and carbon emissions.
In 2004, ABB launched its Extended Automation System 800xA, an industrial
