ABB Opens new $40-Million Factory in Albuquerque

ABB Installation Products opened a new manufacturing facility in Albuquerque, NM, to meet increased demand for Elastimold cable accessories and Fisher Pierce circuit solutions used to help improve electrical reliability and safety for consumers, businesses and communities. The more than $40-million investment reinforces ABB’s focus on supporting critical utility projects and U.S. infrastructure improvements, where about 80% of the products will be installed. An additional $15 million was invested in equipment upgrades and automation.

The addition of ABB’s new Albuquerque facility is part of a broader strategy to increase production capacity, drive innovation and shorten supply chains, with over $125 million invested in ABB Installation Products expansions and improvements across the U.S. in the last five years. The state-of-the-art, 90,000-sq-ft greenfield facility further strengthens ABB’s manufacturing footprint with inventory for electric utility, renewable energy and distribution partners across the U.S. and in some countries globally.

The existing North Building opened in 1973 on ABB‘s 40-acre campus at 6625 Bluewater Rd NW in Albuquerque and has produced tens of millions of electrical products over the past five decades.
