FROM THE BÉLANGER FAMILY WORKSHOP TO ABB GLOBAL EXPERTISE
Bel began in Montreal in 1964, evolving from a family workshop into a trusted Canadian brand known for quality electrical solutions.
Bel was established in Montreal, Quebec, as a family-owned manufacturer specializing in custom electrical enclosures. Under the leadership of Réal Bélanger and the Bélanger family, the company grew from a local manufacturer to a trusted supplier across Canada and the United States. The Montreal facility and Terrebonne warehouse serve commercial, industrial, data center, and utility markets with precision-engineered solutions.
ABB's acquisition of Bel in June 2025 expanded ABB Installation Products' portfolio in North America. The integration combined Bel's custom manufacturing expertise with ABB's global resources, enhancing service capabilities for customers requiring tailored enclosure solutions.
CUSTOM SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION CHALLENGE
Bel specializes in custom-built enclosures, housings, panels, and accessories designed to meet specific project requirements. From standard modifications to fully engineered solutions, Bel's manufacturing capabilities support diverse applications including data centers, utilities, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities across North America.
The Montreal manufacturing facility combines traditional craftsmanship with modern fabrication technology. Bel's engineering team works directly with customers to develop enclosures that meet exact specifications, environmental requirements, and industry standards. This collaborative approach ensures each solution addresses unique installation challenges and performance criteria.
CUSTOM SOLUTIONS, MADE SIMPLE
What sets Bel apart is the ability to turn unique project requirements into practical, ready-to-install enclosure solutions. Customers can customize dimensions, cutouts, openings, finishes, colors, ventilation, locking systems, interior panels, shelves, and accessories to match the needs of their application. Whether for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, data centers, utilities, or OEM equipment, Bel helps deliver solutions built around the realities of the job.
By combining responsive engineering support with flexible manufacturing capabilities, Bel helps simplify installation and reduce modification work on site. The result is enclosure solutions designed around the way customers actually work.
