Over the past 15 years, ABB has invested more than $14bn in the US to help industries outrun – leaner and cleaner. This investment encompasses operational improvements, state-of-the-art technologies and people – together with capacity and business expansion.
Approximately 17,000 colleagues work across the US, where ABB has nearly 40 manufacturing, distribution and operational facilities across 20 states, including nine major R&D centers. Around 75 percent of the products ABB sells in the US are currently manufactured locally.
Investment of $120m across two sites
In March 2025 we announced an investment of $120m in two manufacturing sites, which together will create 250 USA jobs to support expected growth in the data center and utility industries.
The new 320,000 sq. ft. facility to be built in Selmer, Tennessee
The footprint of our facility in Senatobia, Mississippi, will be doubled
The new 320,000 sq ft advanced manufacturing facility in Selmer, Tennessee, will be the product of an $80m investment, with 50 jobs created, while our existing site in Senatobia, Mississippi, will receive $40m, to double its size and create 200 new USA jobs.
Both sites will manufacture low-voltage electrification products, such as busways and industrial circuit breakers. These components are vital in helping businesses to simplify their power distribution and ensure reliability.
“Demand is increasing steadily for advanced electrification technologies, driven by growth in key sectors including data centers and utilities. Our new facilities in Selmer and Senatobia will keep our US customers at the cutting edge of the energy transition, and help them meet their performance, productivity and energy efficiency goals.”

A $100m campus in Wisconsin
The latest round of investment underscores ABB’s commitment to US industries, after the opening last year of a $100m campus in New Berlin, Wisconsin.
It has been designed to increase U.S. production capacity of electric drives used in multiple industries – including the power, transport and building sectors.
The New Berlin site will add capacity for growing demand, while also meeting our goals for sustainable manufacturing. Its geothermal heating, solar power, advanced building controls and modern HVAC systems will eliminate the use of natural gas and reduce energy use by more than 45%. An on-site distribution center will reduce transportation costs and associated emissions.
Investing for efficiency and long-term savings
The goal of practicing sustainability in our own operations has driven investments at one ABB U.S. site to reduce its carbon footprint and save more than $150,000 in annual energy costs.
Our 150,000 sq ft ABB Electrification support and service facility in Florence, South Carolina, has invested in low-energy lighting, a 1500-panel solar farm and water use reduction, alongside energy-monitoring software – all with the goal of reducing long-term costs.
Helping industries across the U.S. to outrun
These multiple projects highlight investments of more than $500 million made by ABB in our US business over the past three years, with a new $40 million factory due to open in Albuquerque, New Mexico later in 2025.
All new ABB sites showcase the latest technologies for sustainable operations, bringing together ABB’s digital and renewable energy solutions to help industries outrun – leaner and cleaner.
