Jual Group launches ABB energy distribution solution

Mr. Salil Sharma is the Channel Sales Director of ABB in East and West Africa. He noted that ABB operates in four divisions: Electrification, Automation, Robotics, and Motion Business.

ABB is valued at about $32.9 billion. The company employs over 110,000 people from 174 nationalities and has been around for 140 years. The Electrification division alone has a workforce of 52,000 employees. This includes teams in Sales and Marketing, Human Resource Development, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain Management.

ABB has over 201 factory locations worldwide. These include sites in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, China, Paris, Indonesia, and India. Safety is a top priority for ABB. The company ensures the safety of its employees and clients across all factory locations.

Electrification at ABB covers products ranging from 1kV to 33kV. This includes energy distribution solutions like low voltage panels and UPS systems. ABB also manages electricity-related products such as MCBs and RCCBs with minimal error through robotic processes.

The Smart Power business based in Italy offers key products like breakers and motor starters. Additionally, ABB provides cable management systems within its electrification sector.

Sharma advised contractors and investors to purchase from accredited ABB sources only. This helps avoid inferior products and ensures authenticity.

In 2024, ABB plans to spend $1.4 billion on research and development. This investment aims to create products that satisfy clients' needs.

The Ghana Association of Engineers thanked ABB for its contributions. They reminded engineers to join the licensing body mandated by the Engineering Council Act of 2011 for safety and accountability.

The association also praised the Jual Group for producing control panels locally in Ghana.
