Written by NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTORS | November 24, 2020

Hitachi ABB Power Grids recently became an NAED Manufacturing Associate Member. Its global headquarters are located in Switzerland, while its U.S. headquarters are in Raleigh, North Carolina.

The manufacturer’s history dates back to the late 1800’s when electrical engineering companies, ASEA and BBC (Brown Boveri & Cie), were formed during Europe’s industrial revolution. After introducing electrical power transmission, rail and industrial technologies, these two pioneering brands merged in 1988 to create ABB. In the following three decades the company continued to develop power and automation technologies through a combination of R&D and tactical acquisitions.

In 2020, Hitachi and ABB's Power Grids’ business came together in a joint venture to create a new global leader in pioneering and digital technologies. As individual companies, both had been innovating and improving technology for over a century. Together, as Hitachi ABB Power Grids, the company builds on this heritage to tackle today's challenges facing business and society. Trusted as a partner of choice to the industry, Hitachi ABB Power Grids co-creates best-in-class solutions that deliver on the promise of a sustainable energy future.
