"This acquisition will help strengthen ABB's leading position in supplying power and automation products, services and systems to the Oil and Gas industry," said Sandy Taylor, ABB Canada's President and global head of ABB's Oil and Gas business. "Adding Raffin Electric's capabilities fits perfectly with our long-term strategy," he added.
"Raffin's products, its reputation for delivering quality services, and the people behind those products and services, will complement ABB's focus on meeting customer needs for improved reliability and performance in electrical distribution networks," added Peter Didaskalos, Vice President and General Manager, High and Medium Voltage Apparatus, Power Products Division, North America. "The addition of Raffin's resources will further improve ABB's position in Western Canada by increasing its local presence and support in the region."
