ABB launches turbocharger station

Date: June 28, 2004

HA NOI — The first kind of international-standard turbocharger station in Viet Nam was inaugurated by ABB Vietnam in Ha Noi last Friday.

The US$1.5 million workshop, covering an area of 800sq.m, aims to provide spare parts and services to maintain and repair turbochargers, said head of ABB (Asea Brown Boveri) Vietnam’s marketing department Do Hong Lam.

Turbochargers are usually used for industries such as ship-building, electricity, railway and heavy-duty vehicles for construction work and mining.

In recent years, these industries have developed significantly hence demand for repairing turbochargers and replacing spare parts raising dramatically in Viet Nam, Lam said.

The first ABB Vietnam representative office was established in 1993 in Ha Noi.

Since then ABB has set up a transformer production factory in Ha Noi and two more representative offices in HCM City and Da Nang City.

Last year, ABB Vietnam took in a record revenue of more than $80 million and the company committed to further development in Viet Nam in the future, Lam said.

Up to now the firm has posted a seven-time growth in revenue against the figure since its foundation in Viet Nam.

Its activities in Viet Nam include supplying equipment and automatic machines for power, oil, steel, cement, paper and other industries.

The company has supplied equipment and machines to prestigious projects in Viet Nam such as Hai Van Tunnel, cement factories of Sao Mai and Song Gianh, and Phu My power plant.

ABB was formed from a merger of Swedish Asea AB and Swiss BBC Brown Boveri with its head office in Switzerland’s Baden.

ABB has more than 80 turbocharger service stations all over the world. — VNS
