"ABB has been present in Nashik for close to 40 years supplying wide range of medium-voltage products like vacuum interrupters, circuit breakers, ring main units, compact substations and switchgear.  The new facility is a reflection of our commitment to the region's growth and the government's focus on reliable and smart 24x7 power for all. The Nashik location has been a hub of innovation for ABB across different medium-voltage power categories, which has been steadily growing for the last several years. The new smart facility will serve the growth and focus on efficient power distribution systems in the country," said Sanjeev Sharma. 

The best in class smart facility will be export focused. This factory is the only one in the ABB universe to manufacture certain categories of products and supply across the globe. The factory will manufacture outdoor products for substations like live tank vacuum-circuit breaker, auto reclosers and indoor ones like gas-insulated switchgear. The reclosers are used on overhead power distribution systems to detect and interrupt momentary faults and to improve uptime of the system. The gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), which occupy up to 45 percent less space, freeing up space for power distribution and is very popular across industrial sectors like steel, cement, marine and also in distribution networks due to its high reliability and safety.
