As of July 1st, 2018, GE Industrial Solutions joined forces with ABB as part of the company’s Electrification Business, earning the number two share position in electrification globally. For those unfamiliar, the Electrification Commercial Organization encompasses Industrial Solutions, OEM and Installation Products (formally Thomas & Betts) sales forces.
Industrial Solutions is known in the market to provide an array of LV & MV electrical solutions from grid to chip. This acquisition is a huge milestone for both Organizations which now include 56,000 employees and 100+ manufacturing factories globally. Since July 1st, ABB has invested over $50MM+ in the Industrial Solutions business to encompass Manufacturing upgrades, as well as the approval to hire over 100 Commercial/Sales heads in the US. Over the next 24 months, the business will be merging the best of portfolios to marry ABB’s superior products (breakers, Drives, MV) with the greatest of GE’s LV solutions (Switchboards, Panels, MCC’s, Panels, etc.).
