ABB is expanding its manufacturing footprint in Bengaluru with greenfield campuses and shopfloors, new product line expansions, service and training centers, and precision equipment manufacturing across Electrification, Motion and Automation businesses. ABB Group CEO Morten Wierod recently led the groundbreaking of a new integrated Motion facility in Peenya. He also inaugurated the Electrification and Automation Nelamangala Campus 2 on Kunigal Road. ABB has a strong and longstanding presence in Karnataka, with Bengaluru serving as one of its most important manufacturing and technology hubs in India. With this latest investment, ABB will operate three manufacturing locations with multiple shopfloors in the state, employing more than 3,000 people across its manufacturing operations.
Commenting on the move, Sanjeev Sharma, Country Head and Managing Director, ABB India, said, “This expansion reflects ABB’s long-term commitment to India and our local-for-local strategy. By strengthening our manufacturing and technology capabilities in Karnataka, we are bringing advanced ABB technologies closer to customers, enabling industries to improve energy efficiency, digitalize operations and support India’s infrastructure growth.”
ABB’s Motion business is expanding its Peenya campus with two new manufacturing facilities. Spanning 6,100 sq m., the site will accommodate up to 300 employees once fully operational.
