ABB is a global leader in power andautomation technologies present in around 100 countries. ABB’s state-of-the-art and energy efficient technologies enable its customers to improve performance, while lowering the environmental impact of their activities. The Asea and Brown Boveri companies have been present in Bulgaria for over 80 years and ABB since 1993, through a local organization. Nowadays the company represents a strength on the Bulgarian market of power and automation equipment. Due to its customer-oriented structure, the company is in permanent contact with its customers’ needs, offering fast and easy access to the entire range of ABB’s products, services and solutions for power and automation technologies.

The ABB group was established in 1988 through the merger of Swedish Asea and Swiss Brown Boveri (BBC) companies. Asea’s history dates back to 1883, while BBC Brown Boveri was founded in 1891. The headquarter of the company is in Zurich, Switzerland. ABB operates in around 100 countries, through five key divisions: Power Products, Power Systems, Discrete Automation and Motion, Low Voltage Products and Process Automation.

Power ProductsPower Products are the key products for the power transmission and distribution. The division mainly produces and delivers HV products (Circuit Breakers, Switchgears, Instrument transfor-mers, Power capacitors, Surge Arresters, Switchgear Modules), MV products (Circuit Breakers , Instrument Transformers and Sensors, Modular Systems, OEM Switchgear Kits and Parts, Surge Arresters, Switches and Disconnectors, Switchgear and Motor Control, vacuum interrupters and Poles etc), Transformers (Dry-type, Liquid-filled, transformer components, Service) . The main customers of the PP division are: Utilities, Industries, EPC’, OEM’s, Distributors. As part of the PP Division ABB has in Bulga-ria one production unit located in Sevlievo:

ABB Avangard• The factory produces High Voltage Equipment – NRB and

respectively NSA Disconnectors, equipped with suitable operating mechanisms – manual or motor driven. The dis-connectors can also be equipped with one or two earthing swithches.

TurbochargersShips, power generating facilities, locomotives and mining equip-ment - wherever diesel/gas engines are used, ABB Turbochargers are not far away. We offer full range of spare parts and service for all kind of turbochargers.• The trend in turbocharging is towards simpler construction

with fewer parts, and even greater efficiency at higher pressures.

• Modern turbochargers feature a simple, robust and compact design, and are modular for maximum flexibility in application.

• The number of parts, overall size and weight are being conti-nually reduced, all the while with performance improvements, longer life times and increased times between overhauls (TBO).

• Because prevention of failure is always better than repair, ABB Bulgaria‘ s servicing and maintenance work are planned proactively, on request through a customised service agreement.
