ABB Dry Type Transformers, a division of ABB Inc., located in Bland, Virginia is an international company that manufactures Dry and Vacuum Cast Transformers. Since its beginning in 1972, ABB’s Dry Type Transformer division has operated under the premise that quality has to be “built in” and cannot be “inspected into” a product. The goal is simple: to provide excellent products and services that meet or exceeds customers’ expectations. Continued business growth preserves an experienced staff and contributes to an enthusiastic, driven workforce. ABB employees are actively involved in many community activities, and are recognized for their leadership in various community programs. ABB Bland is a Voluntary Protection Program®’ae (VPP) certified company. Safety stands as one of our main priorities. Through the years, the facility nestled in the mountains of Southwest Virginia has been called many things from Industrial Design, Gould, Gould-Brown Boveri, Brown Boveri, ABB Power Transmission and Distribution and finally ABB. The volume has increased from 38 units per year to celebrating the 50,000th unit produced in January 2013. ABB Bland sells transformers through multiple channels into the utility, industrial, commercial and OEM markets. We appreciate the support of our employees and all our trading partners and look forward to the NEXT 40 years! There’s a sign in downtown Bland that says it all “ABB Dry-Type Transformers Proud to be part of Bland County for 40 years”. ABB (www.abb.com) is a global 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 150,000 people. The company has invested heavily in North America over the past three years, with acquisitions totaling nearly $10 billion. ABB employs around 30,000 throughout the region.
