The meeting was attended by participants from ABB companies in Romania, Sweden, France and Germany.
The event was meant as an exchange of experience between the participants in the sourcing domain in Romania, as well as in other low cost countries and also a good opportunity to improve the business.
On this occasion, Mr. Gheorghe Şerbanescu, Executive Manager of APREL (Romanian Employer Association for Electronics and Electrotechnics) was invited to make a complete presentation of the local potential in the low voltage equipment area to the ABB participants, in order to establish new possibilities of cooperation in the field.
The ABB managers were positively impressed by the local capabilities, as well as by the supplier network, thus expressing their willingness to continue and even extend the business with Romanian companies.

For instance Electroaparataj in Bucharest and Electroprecizia in Brasov/Sacele are some of the supplier companies ABB is cooperating with in the field.

But ABB’s aim is not only to sell products on the market, but also to involve the Romanian companies by sourcing as much as possible products and services from local suppliers.” – said Mr. Uwe Tschirner – Executive Director Automation Technologies of ABB Romania.
