ABB India inaugurated a new factory for the production of power distribution products in Nashik. The facility was inaugurated by Sanjeev Sharma, Managing Director of ABB in India in the presence of other dignitaries and customers from various sectors. ABB has been present in Nashik since 1978 manufacturing state of the art medium-voltage power products.

Mobile applications will help customers and service engineers to access information about products specifications , installation support , factory test results etc. just by scanning the QR code on the product.
“ABB has been present in Nashik for close to 40 years supplying wide range of medium-voltage products like vacuum interrrupters , 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 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 upto 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 realiability and safety.
