Hello everyone and welcome to Ed Barron's. I'm Andy Serwer and welcome to our guest, Morton Vrod, CEO of ABB.

Morton, great to see you. Thank you so much for joining us.

Thank you for having me, Andy. So give us an outline of ABB today. What does the company do?

We are a company that's focused on electrification and automation.

And what we in ABB call helping industries outrun. It means, and becoming leaner and cleaner.

So that's kind of, it's everything about from power generation, distributing that power with the utilities, and then consuming a lot of

that electricity in industries, in the process industries, but today also in data centers and

everything really we do today is all about electrification. So that's a big part of the role

that we play. That's a big trend, obviously. We'll talk more about that,

but specifically, Morton, what products and or services do you provide? Well, it's kind of the

key to it, as I want to talk about the power generation, it's about electrical switchgear. That is

circuit breakers. It's all the things that's protecting equipment, but breaking power and current.

So we are able to distribute all that power in the power grid.

So utilities is a big customer group and they use a lot of our switch gear.

But the same switch gears, electrical switch gear also used by industries.

It sits out in every manufacturing plant here in the United States, but all over the world,

in and taking in on what we call what we call medium voltage, which is into the 20, 30,000

volts down to low voltage, which is with everything really below 1,000 volts, which is more

like what we have in our homes and in buildings. So all the equipment and the products you need

to make electrical distributions safe and reliable in industries, in building and also in

transportation, all of those products sits within ABB.

So I often say you find every ABB everywhere,
