ABB Announces $110 million U.S. Investment for R&D and Manufacturing

ABB has announced that it will invest a further $110 million in the United States in 2025—following $500 million in investment from 2022 to 2024—to expand R&D and manufacturing of its advanced electrification solutions. The investment is expected to create nearly 200 new jobs, according to company officials, and will support expected future growth in key industries, including data centers and the power grid. 

“This $110 million investment in the United States is part of our long-term strategy to support future growth in our biggest global market,” says ABB CEO Morten Wierod. “Demand is being driven by key trends, from the surging power needs of artificial intelligence in data centers, to grid modernization and customers improving energy efficiency and uptime to reduce their costs.”

ABB’s investment includes $15 million to create a new production line for Emax 3 air circuit breakers at its Senatobia, MS, site; $30 million to double the footprint of ABB’s Richmond, VA, facility, including addition of a new test center, warehouse and assembly lines; $30 million plus for additions to ABB’s Arecibo, Puerto Rico, facility for three new production lines; and $35 million to increase the capacity of ABB’s manufacturing facility in Pinetops, NC, to support expected demand for voltage-grid components and for data centers and industrial facilities.
