To expand its low voltage NEMA motor portfolio, ABB signed an agreement to purchase Siemens’ low voltage
NEMA motor business to establish itself as a leader in that segment.
New campus serves as ABB global R&D center for machine and factory automation, AI and software solutions.
Global innovation hub expanded significantly to host machine builders, manufacturers, start-ups, research
and educational institutions.
ABB opened its new global innovation and training campus at the headquarters of B&R in Eggelsberg, Austria,
its global center for machine and factory automation. The new campus will create up to 1,000 additional
high-tech jobs and includes world-class research and development laboratories, as well as global training
facilities for up to 4,000 people per year in collaboration with universities. ABB invested EUR 100 million
in the expansion of the B&R headquarters.
Campus innovations around artificial intelligence and machine and factory automation will play an essential role
in unlocking the potential of future industrial production – in sectors such as electronics, e-mobility, food
and beverage, recycling, logistics, or agriculture. They will increase productivity and flexibility, helping
customers become more sustainable and produce closer to their end markets.
ABB CEO Björn Rosengren said: "Innovation has been in ABB’s DNA for more than 130 years and our division,
B&R, is a true innovation hot-spot for the transformation towards more automated manufacturing. The
official opening of this campus is a proud moment for our ABB as we create highly-skilled jobs while shaping
the machines and factories of the future together with our customers.”
