The ABB Xiamen Hub will focus primarily on the development and manufacturing of products and solutions for ABB's Electrification Products and Power Grids divisions. It is home to one of ABB's largest R&D centers for low-voltage electrical systems as well as a 1,200kV ultra-high voltage test lab, the highest voltage level in China. The site also has ABB's first digitally connected remote service center in China. Since the launch of ABB's leading ABB Ability™ digital offering last year, the Group's digital business in China has doubled in size.

The inauguration ceremony of the Xiamen Hub was attended by Pei Jinjia, Secretary of the Communist Party of China Xiamen Municipal Committee, and other government representatives, ABB customers from the utility, industry, and transport & infrastructure sectors, and ABB Group and local management. In acknowledgement of Xiamen's central role in ABB's Chinese operations, ABB will host a major customer event this week at the Xiamen International Conference and Exhibition Center. This event, ABB Customer World, will bring in more than 6,000 people and showcase the company's Power Grids, Electrification Products, Industrial Automation, and Robotics and Motions divisions.
