ABB is a Swedish-Swiss electrification and automation group, formed in 1988 from the merger of ASEA and Brown, Boveri & Cie and headquartered in Zurich. For data centers it supplies the power chain from medium-voltage grid connection to the rack, plus drives and motors that cut cooling energy. Its near-term, long-term and net-zero targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative.
ABB Ltd is incorporated in Switzerland and works in electrification and automation. It was created in 1988 when ASEA of Sweden merged with Brown, Boveri & Cie of Switzerland, and its shares trade on the SIX Swiss Exchange and Nasdaq Stockholm.

ABB's data center portfolio covers medium-voltage powertrains and grid support, power conversion and power quality for AC, DC and hybrid architectures, low-voltage power distribution, and power protection that isolates electrical faults. For cooling, it offers variable speed drives and high-efficiency motors that match cooling output to demand in grey space and white space. ABB says its predictive asset management can reduce maintenance by up to 85%.

The data center offer is aimed at operators building cloud and AI facilities that need electrification from grid connection to server, including high-density compute rows.

ABB is not an immersion or direct-to-chip cooling specialist. It belongs in this category as a power and electrification supplier whose drives and motors reduce the energy used by fans, pumps and chillers.
