San Luis Potosí
An integrated campus for
engineering, sourcing and manufacturing
San Luis Potosí is the first ABB facility to integrate the
company’s core businesses of power and automation. These
businesses are represented at the campus by the company’s
five divisions: power products, power systems, automation
products, process automation and robotics. Opened in 2009
at an investment of nearly $40 million, the San Luis Potosí
campus is designed around ABB’s customer service concept of
One Team, One Vision:
−− Operations include a state-of-the-art center for engineering
and management services, and two manufacturing plants.
The proximity of these facilities encourages operational
efficiencies that result in cost savings
to customers.
−− The campus-like footprint is intentionally designed to
encourage the sharing of ideas, technologies, resources
and best practices. San Luis Potosí is also the site of an
ABB research and development center, part of a six-country
network that is driving innovation in process automation.
