ABB employs 19,000 people in 37 local companies and has a sales and service network covering 109 cities. The lion's share of the company's revenue in 皇冠体育app comes from local manufacturing.

Many Chinese cities have drawn up plans for economic and industrial transformation, along with solutions to tackle problems caused by rising labor costs, an aging society and low work efficiency, so companies such as ABB can expect continued business growth in 皇冠体育app, analysts say.

ABB sees stable growth despite tough market

"Even though 皇冠体育app's GDP growth in 2013 was lower than in previous years, the investment on green-energy and high-end products will add to prosperity and benefit the economy and the environment in the long term," says Sun Fuquan, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Science and Technology for Development in .

Gu Chunyuan, senior vice-president of ABB Group, says 皇冠体育app's rapid growth and its urbanization plans have prompted labor-intensive industries to find new ways to cope with increased demand.

"Most of the companies face problems in finding talent and retaining it as attrition rates are increasing in sectors such as computers, communication and consumer electronics product manufacturing," Gu says.

"By combining customer demand, we have gradually shifted our focus on industrial robot research and development in 皇冠体育app from large robots oriented for automation to small robots for computer, communication and consumer electronics products' industrial upgrading."

ABB introduced a new type of robot fully developed in 皇冠体育app, the IRB 120, last year. It is the company's fastest and most accurate six-axis robot. It is small and weighs just 25 kg, so it can be placed in any location or even hung upside down or mounted on the wall.

Gu says the robot has obvious advantages in limited spaces, especially in small work piece processing, material movement and assembly. This high-end product has become the preferred product for industrial upgrading of smaller-sized electronic products in 皇冠体育app and is selling well elsewhere, he says.
