Eight channel partners have been named as award winners at the ABB Process Automation Europe Partner Conference 2022, an event dedicated to the discussion of growth opportunities, industry challenges, sustainability, digitalization and collaboration.
The in-person conference, held from October 5-6 in Baden, Switzerland, served as a platform to introduce the latest updates from ABB Energy Industries and ABB Process Industries to their European channel partner community under the theme ‘Success with Synergy’. Since earlier this year, ABB has changed the format from a single global annual event to several regional versions to better serve the needs of partners.
Across the award categories the winners impressed ABB in various ways, including by contributing to major projects, delivering high order volumes, showing resilience during the pandemic and breaking into new industries. Germany’s PLT Networks GmbH was presented with the top award for ‘Pinnacle Performer’, for consistently delivering high order volume and working across multiple industries. Around 200 delegates attended the conference at the Trafo Baden, building on their long-standing or emerging relationships with ABB contacts.
“We had the opportunity to host our channel partners who collectively reflected our theme for this year ‘Success with Synergy’, but also recognize standout efforts through our awards,” said Wissam Assaf, Vice President, Indirect Sales, ABB Process Automation. “The eight winners have shown outstanding performance and exceptional value to end-customers, and it is a credit to their teams and leadership. We recently rebuilt our indirect sales model in both Energy Industries and Process Industries with a renewed focus on partner enablement and joint market planning. We look forward to this approach building momentum in future interactions and engagements.”
Presentations at the conference covered business strategy and planning, growth opportunities in multiple industries, portfolio updates and how digital impacts the industrial space. A keynote on the agenda was delivered by ABB Process Industries Division President Joachim Braun, who spoke about the importance and value of sustainability.
Workshops and deep-dive break-out sessions with industry and product experts were rated highly by participants, but it was a factory tour at ABB’s Turgi, Switzerland facility to see first-hand how the excitation systems are built which proved to be a main highlight from the two days.
ABB recently announced a number of new channel partner agreements, including with Finnish provider Insta Automaton for ABB control systems, such as ABB Ability™ System 800xA distributed control system (DCS), and a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ATS Global to extend the reach of the ABB Ability™ Data Center Automation (DCA) business in Europe and Asia.
