With foundry headquarters in Dortmund, Germany , induction heating headquarters in Brookfield, WI USA , and operations in China , Sweden , Thailand , Russia , Mexico , India , Japan and Brazil , ABP operates worldwide. History In 1903, the predecessor of ABP, ASEA Allmanna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget in Sweden built the first induction channel furnace for foundry operations. Basing on the principle that the energy required for the melting process is induced directly into the charge by electromagnetic coils, ASEA managed to create a new technology that is fundamentally more efficient and precise. In order to expend the know how of the company and to consolidate its market position, ASEA decided to merge in 1988 with Brown Boveri from Switzerland and to form ABB Asea Brown Boveri . The new firm added sophisticated control, automation and information technology to the products, and supplemented them with consulting, planning, start up and training services. Today their components and systems are used in nearly every foundry throughout the world. In 2005, with the backing of a group of experienced foundry industry investors, the Foundry Systems group was acquired from ABB and ABP Induction, LLC was born. ref cite news url http www.abb.com cawp seitp202 b1adce502428c3a3c12570b300482444.aspx title ABB sells foundry ... more details
