NATIONAL INDUSTRI was established in Norway in 1917 as a major supplier of heavy electrical products, transformers and hydro power generators to the Norwegian market.
NATIONAL INDUSTRI established an export activity during 1965-70. In order to have access to the worldwide market the company acquired transformer companies in certain countries. Gradually new countries were added to the list where NATIONAL INDUSTRI had manufacturing units, wholly or partly owned companies: Sweden, Denmark, UK, Ireland, Spain, U.S.A., Singapore, Malaysia, Nepal, Tanzania, Sri Lanka, and Ecuador.
NATIONAL INDUSTRI was incorporated into the EB-Group before it became an ABB entity in 1988.
NATIONAL INDUSTRI’s main export products have always been furnace and rectifier transformers. These transformers are based on the “shell form” principle and were especially fitted for arc furnaces and reduction furnaces.
NATIONAL INDUSTRI was the world's leading company for furnace transformers when it was acquired by ABB. While furnace transformers production no longer takes place in Norway, ABB continues to produce them in Germany and Italy.
