ABB to Set up a New Manufacturing Unit in Indonesia

Inauguration of the new high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear was hosted by ABB in October 2018. This facility was constructed in Tangerang, on the outskirts of Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia to meet the demand for reliable power supply. This is the fourth ABB manufacturing facility in the country and is a part of a USD30 million investment plan. The other three units produce high-voltage, low-voltage, and medium-voltage air-insulated switchgear. The fourth manufacturing unit is spread over an area of 1000 square meters and is expected to deliver 170 kV GIS and houses a medium-voltage manufacturing unit, and a production facility manufacturing high-voltage insulated equipment and switchgear namely Live Tank Circuit Breakers and Disconnectors. The president of Power Grids division, ABB said, “This latest manufacturing unit is our ongoing commitment to Indonesia and we guarantee to provide our complete support and meet the increasing demand for electricity in the coming years.” Such initiatives will aid in the expansion of the market in the coming years.
