ABB, a power and automation technology group, has opened a new local service office near Lake Charles, LA. The office will provide services and support for ABB's automation and power portfolio including control systems (System 800xA, Symphony Plus and heritage control systems), instrumentation, analytical products, low voltage drives, and power systems and products.
The new office in Sulphur, LA, will be staffed with engineering, support and training personnel. The office will offer scheduled in-center training, as well as customized training courses.
At the open house in April, a wide variety of ABB automation and power equipment was featured including wireless communications, measurement and analytical products (instrumentation, level and process analytics), gas insulated switchgear, protection relays and other control and power products.
ABB has established local resources to serve its industry customers in the Gulf region, which is a major hub for energy, oil, gas, chemical and petrochemical industries in the United States, and has recently announced several new investments in the area.
"We are expanding our footprint in the Gulf region to better serve our customers here, with local service and support resources that work with our global experts," said Kevin Kosisko, Americas Region Division Manager, Process Automation for ABB. "This office nicely complements our recent expansions in this area, including the Automation and Power Center in Houston and new level measurement factory currently under construction in Baton Rouge."
ABB recently held a ground-breaking ceremony for its new 75,000 sq. ft. level measurement factory in Baton Rouge, LA, and announced that it is developing a new Automation and Power Center in Houston that will showcase ABB's full offering to help utility, industry and infrastructure companies increase their productivity and energy efficiency while maintaining the highest level safety and reliability.
