When some people think of ABB they think of a large company that builds basic infrastructure products. While in the past this was true, ABB is rapidly changing into a technology company. In fact, ABB has always prided itself on the level of investment and the amount of effort it puts into research and technology.
Whether it be short-term, market-driven development of products or long-term blue sky research, ABB works on the belief that constant, well-funded innovation is vital to maintaining its lead as a technology company serving its customers and shareholders.
