ABB acquires New Zealand business to expand power electronics portfolio
ABB收購新西蘭公司,擴(kuò)大電力電子業(yè)務(wù)組合
Vectek’s innovative technology helps improve power quality for industry
Vectek公司的創(chuàng)新技術(shù)有助于提高工業(yè)電力質(zhì)量
Zurich, Switzerland, May 5, 2008 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has acquired the business of Vectek Electronics, a New Zealand company with innovative technology that improves the quality of the power supply in industrial installations, which helps to reduce downtime and increase productivity.
瑞士蘇黎世5月5日消息——領(lǐng)先的電力和自動(dòng)化技術(shù)集團(tuán)ABB公司,收購了Vectek電子公司的業(yè)務(wù),Vectek公司是一家擁有可以改善工業(yè)裝置電源質(zhì)量創(chuàng)新技術(shù)的新西蘭公司,幫助減少停機(jī)時(shí)間和提高生產(chǎn)力。
The business has 73 employees as well as a research and development center in the town of Napier, and will operate as part of ABB’s Automation Products division. Terms of the transaction are not being disclosed.
該公司共有73名雇員,并在納皮爾市擁有一個(gè)研發(fā)中心,它將成為ABB自動(dòng)化產(chǎn)品部的一部分。該交易的條款沒有被披露。
“Vectek is an ideal addition to our portfolio of technologies that help customers increase power reliability, productivity and energy efficiency,” said Tom Sjoekvist, head of the Automation Products division. “ABB’s global scope will enable customers on every continent to benefit from this new technology.”
ABB自動(dòng)化產(chǎn)品部主管Tom Sjoekvist表示:“Vectek是我們可以幫助客戶提高供電可靠性、生產(chǎn)力和能源效率的技術(shù)組合的一個(gè)理想補(bǔ)充。ABB的全球分布將可以使每個(gè)大陸上的客戶都可以受益于這一新技術(shù)?!?/P>
Modern electricity networks, while very secure from blackouts, suffer from variations in power quality that can result in very costly production shutdowns and variations in the quality of goods produced in industrial plants. Vectek’s high-power electronic converters use Active Voltage Conditioning (AVC) technology to mitigate the effect of voltage surges and sags, creating a more stable and continuous supply.
現(xiàn)代電力的網(wǎng)絡(luò),從停電可以確保非常安全的同時(shí),也遭受不同的電力質(zhì)量而造成的代價(jià)較大的生產(chǎn)停產(chǎn)以及在工業(yè)廠房生產(chǎn)貨物質(zhì)量的不同。Vectek公司的高功率電子轉(zhuǎn)換器使用主動(dòng)電壓調(diào)節(jié)(AVC)技術(shù),減輕電壓電涌和下陷的影響,創(chuàng)造一個(gè)更加穩(wěn)定和持續(xù)的供電。
The product is designed for industrial, commercial and marine applications, and has already been successfully introduced in the U.S. and in a number of Asian markets. ABB’s new product unit will be managed by John Penny, formerly chief executive of Vectek.
該產(chǎn)品專為工業(yè),商業(yè)和海洋應(yīng)用而設(shè)計(jì),并已成功地進(jìn)入了美國和一些亞洲市場。 ABB的新產(chǎn)品部門將由Vectek的原首席執(zhí)行官John Penny領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。
ABB is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs about 112,000 people.
ABB是電力和自動(dòng)化技術(shù)領(lǐng)域的全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)廠商,致力于為工業(yè)和電力行業(yè)客戶提供解決方案,以幫助客戶提高生產(chǎn)效率,同時(shí)降低對(duì)環(huán)境的不良影響。ABB集團(tuán)的業(yè)務(wù)遍布全球100多個(gè)國家,擁有大約112,000名雇員。
