Is it correct to refer to this company as Swiss-Swedish? It is a multinational registered as an Ltd. and is owned by various investors. ] (]) 10:52, 23 November 2022 (UTC) |

:Very good point. The clearly refer to it being incorporated and headquartered in Zurich only. In that way it is similar to former Dutch-British multinationals such as ] or ], meaning it should be referred to as "Swiss multinational", despite major Swedish ownership. ~~ ] (]) 15:46, 31 October 2024 (UTC) |

I don’t think that is true. Both ASEA and Brown, Boveri & Cie produced rolling stock (EMU:s and locomotives) right up until the merger in 1988. When it comes to ASEA, I know that products developed by ASEA (like X10-family of EMU:s and X2000) were built as ABB. |

'''Oppose'''. ABB was the code for both an airline and a railroad. Given all of the other uses, I'm not convinced that leaving things the way they are would be a problem. The company also seems to go by the name ABB Group. ] 07:01, 1 November 2005 (UTC) |

== Bad name == |

So we had two options: ABB which is "more correct", or "Asea Brown Boveri" which was "less redundant". So which one was used for the title? BOTH! |
|
|
|
|
|
Let's call this "ABB Group", no? That's what it's linked to from ABB disambig. Note that theoretical problem with "ABB" being an airline call sign has never resulted in problems with similar namespace collisions in the past, so to be honest I see no reason not to call this "ABB" and leave it at that. |

] has made lot of edits recently to this ABB-page. On her user-page she states clearly that she works for ABB. (Also, she is very good in editing, including more difficult tasks such as referencing, so she might be getting experience under an other name). I see no problem so far, not even a ]. But I think the article needs a review by others, to wikifresh it. I did one section, separating some PR from facts. -] (]) 20:48, 27 April 2010 (UTC) |

:ABB of course welcomes a wikifresh review by the Misplaced Pages community, and I fully agree with removing the PR language. Most of the content that was removed by ] on 27 April was added by User:Sanketsingh ] in October 2006. However, changing the divisional heading ‘Discrete Automation & Motion’ (DM) under Organizational Structure back to ‘Robotics’ is not correct as this is a business unit within the new DM division since January 2010. Please refer to the press ], which is a reference in the ABB Group profile. An answer to ]'s comment in brackets is available on my ] page. |

== ABB's Swedish investors: about one-third, not half == |
|

It says: "Fully half of ABB's shareholders reside in Sweden." under Primary investors. I can't find any evidence of this - does anyone know where it's come from? The text was added by ] on 5 May 2009.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=ABB_Group&limit=250&action=history</ref> with nothing to back it up. ABB's investor relations department tells me: "about one-third of ABB's shareholders are Swedish". It is difficult to prove exactly as many (almost half) shareholders invest through nominees. It is true that ABB's biggest shareholder, Investor AB, is Swedish with 7.1% of shares and votes. To the best of ABB's knowledge, no other shareholder apart from BlackRock Inc. has 3% or more of all voting rights.<ref>http://www.abb.com/cawp/abbzh259/88410baffb6a58bbc1256fba0035c89f.aspx</ref> -] (]) Hogantanya 08:46, 4 May 2010 (UTC) |
