ABB has achieved the significant milestone of being a part of the New Zealand electricity and manufacturing industries for 90 years. The founding company for ABB in New Zealand was ASEA, which was incorporated as a subsidiary of ASEA Electric NZ Limited on 3rd March 1933. This was not the beginning however, as ASEA had been selling products to New Zealand for many years, before 1933, with the first delivery of a transformer to a Wellington customer in 1898, and the supply of hydro generators in the 1920s. We look back at a few of the key milestones of ABB’s history in New Zealand.
