The ABB Group says it is focusing more on investments in the country being the largest economy in Africa.  In addition to this, it is also working on diversifying its operations to create more opportunities to support local engineers with more job opportunities.

According to the company, its value areas are: safety and integrity; customer focus and quality; innovation and speed; ownership and performance; plus, technical and commercial collaboration.

ABB in -country managing director, Hany Abd-Elazim  stated this during the commissioning  of  its new  facility  in  Lagos. The new facility enables easier communication across the company, is more spacious and is fitted with unique features, including a Turbo charging service workshop which is the first in Nigeria. It also features a training center for its customers and a state-of-the-art show room fitted with the latest designs and solutions

Commenting further on the new Turbo Charging Service Workshop, Hany Abd-Elazim, said that the company was poised to satisfy its teeming customers.  He said: “Before now, companies had to take their Turbo Chargers outside the country for repairs and servicing.  The nearest service center was in Senegal.  As a forward-thinking company, we decided to open this workshop right here in Nigeria. This means we are saving time and money for our customers thereby making their businesses more profitable”.
