1994年ABB集团(ABB Group)将在华业务总部迁至北京，并在1995年正式注册了阿西亚.布朗.勃法瑞(中国)投资有限公司－ABB(中国)有限公司(ABB China Limited).
   ABB集团与中国的关系可以追溯到上个世纪初的1907年。当时ABB向中国提供了第一台蒸汽锅炉。1974年ABB在香港设立了中国业务部，随后于1979年在北京设立了永久性办事处。
  经过多年的快速发展，ABB(中国)有限公司(ABB China Limited)迄今在中国已拥有26家合资与独资企业、在38个主要城市设有销售与服务分公司和10,000多名员工，并拥有研发、生产、销售与服务全方位业务。2005年ABB在中国的销售额达24亿美金。中国成为ABB集团全球第二大市场。2003年，ABB在《财富》、雅虎等媒体联合进行的调查中被评为中国10佳“卓越雇主”。2006年初，ABB在中国前程无忧网站组织的调查中，被大学生们评为最受欢迎的雇主之一。ABB集团还在2006年初将其具有领先优势的全球机器人业务总部移至中国上海。
　　ABB集团在中国通过与当地合作伙伴的密切合作，在输配电、自动化产品和系统等方面都建立起了强大的生产基地。业务包括完整系列的电力变压器和配电变压器；高、中、低压开关应用；电气传动系统和电机等。这些产品已广泛应用于工业和电力行业。ABB追求卓越质量，其企业和产品均已成为业内的基准。 ABB的主要产品涉及自动化控制系统、低压产品、仪器仪表、电机、变频器、电力电子产品、起重机系统、自动化工程服务等，表现在金属、制浆、化学、生命科学、汽车工业、电力行业自动化以及建筑系统等多个领域的工程和项目管理方面的能力。 

2007年，ABB在原计划的基础上增加投资一亿美元，用于ABB(中国)有限公司(ABB China Limited)在华的26家本地企业从研发、生产、销售到服务活动的全方位优化，使其电力和自动化业务整体受益。ABB中国公司2007年在员工总数、订单额和销售额三方面均位居集团首位，从而使中国成为ABB集团全球第一大市场。

1. 有机增长。 近年来ABB在中国一直保持了了两位数的增长速度，未来也将保持这一增长态势。
2. 增加投资。 截至2007年，在华累计投资额达8.2亿美元。
3. 转移成本。ABB成立了一个专门的团队，从当地购买生产原料，而不像过去那样从欧洲进口某些部件。2007年，ABB在中国的采购额超过21亿美元。
4. 2005年在北京和上海分别建立了研究中心，从事未来的输配电技术、制造技术和机器人技术的研究工作。在2007年，还将四个全球业务单元在华设立技术中心。
5. 培养本地人才。目前，中国已成为ABB集团的人才基地之一。在2007年，新招募员工1500名，使在华员工总数达到12,800人（99％以上为中国人），较上一年增幅达14%。
   ABB集团全球共享的技术和产品已被中国许多国家级和省级重点建设项目选用,如三峡电站建设和输配电工程、南水北调工程、青藏铁路、北京奥运工程中的首都国际机场的改扩建项目、变电站项目、轻轨项目等。此外，ABB还为亚洲最大的石化项目－上海赛科、广州地铁、上海地铁、北京人民大会堂、上海通用汽车、宝钢集团等众多客户提供了可靠的电力或自动化技术解决方案。
   
            The ABB Group was formed in 1988, when the Swedish Asea and the Swiss BBC Brown Boveri merged under the name of ABB, each holding 50% interests. Asea’s history dates back to 1883. BBC Brown Boveri was founded in 1891. ABB is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, under the leadership of chairman Juergen Dormann and CEO Fred Kindle.

   ABB (www.abb.com) is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve performance while lowering environmental impact.. The ABB Group has about 107,000 employees in around 100 countries. Reporting about $22 billion revenues in 2005, ABB is a Fortune 500 company.
   
   ABB invented, built and brought into commercial operation the world’s first tri-phase power transmission system as well as the world’s first self-cooling transformer. Today ABB has a broad product portfolio including power transformers and distribution transformers, various kinds of switchgears and circuit breakers, high-voltage and medium-voltage products and technologies, AC and DC transmission and distribution systems, utility automation systems, measurement and sensor devices, real-time control and optimization systems, robot hardware and software and simulation, energy-saving motors and drives, power quality, conversion and synchronization systems, fuses and switchgears for power system protection, and low-voltage products and systems.
   
   ABB's relationship with China dates back to the beginning of the last century, when we supplied the country with a steam boiler in 1907. In 1974, the ABB in China operation was formally established in Hong Kong, which was followed by our first permanent office in Beijing in 1979. In 1994, we took a decisive step forward and moved our China headquarters to Beijing. One year later, we set up ABB (China) Limited in Beijing. Today we have more than 10,000 employees, 26 joint ventures and wholly owned companies, and an extensive sales and service network across 38 cities. ABB was rated favorite employer by university students on China's public recruiting Website in February 2006.
   
   By setting up joint ventures and wholly-owned companies across the country, ABB China has built up strong production, engineering and service bases in the fields of power transmission and distribution, automation products and systems. Our portfolio in China includes the full range of power transformers and distribution transformers; switchgear technologies for high-, medium- and low-voltage applications, electrical drives and motors. These products are used in industrial, commercial and utility applications.
   
   ABB achieved sales around $2.4 billion in China in 2005, making it our largest market after the U.S. ABB China’s goal is to double its sales to $4 billion by 2008. To achieve this ambitious goal, ABB China will hire an additional 5,000 talented and well-educated employees, increasing the pool of its employees in China to 12,000 by 2008. ABB has defined its strategy for profitable growth in China, which includes maintaining organic growth, investing in new product lines and factories, buying materials locally and using them to build complete product lines, opening a new global R&D center in Beijing, and developing local talent.
   
   Major orders ABB won recently in China include:

   In 1999, China’s former president Jiang Zemin visited ABB’s facilities for turbine leafs, coil, motor, rotors production and welding in Switzerland. In 2004, China’s vice premier Zeng Peiyan paid a visit to ABB Corporate Technology in Switzerland.
   
   ABB Chairman Juergen Dormann is an advisor to the mayor of Beijing and Dinesh Paliwal, head of ABB’s global Automation Technologies business and manager for the Americas, is an advisor to Guangdong province.
   
   In the future, ABB remains committed to China, and the long-term sustainable development of the country. We would like China to be ABB’s second largest market in short time. Specifically, we plan to double sales to around $4 billion by 2008. To achieve this, we have set forth a five-point strategy:
   
   • Organic growth: we plan to grow at least 20 percent per year in the run-up to 2008
   • New investments: we will invest at least $100 million in new product lines and factories in the run-up to 2008. For example, we recently opened a new relays business in Xiamen
   • Cost migration.
   • New research and development center in Beijing will open March 30. Part of ABB’s global network of corporate laboratories around the world.
   • Developing local talent. An important part in ABB’s five-point plan, it involves hiring an additional 5,000 employees – highly talented and well educated – in the run-up to 2008.
