ABB is a Swiss engineering group that makes electrical equipment (switchgear, breakers, power converters, UPS systems), industrial automation systems and motors and drives.
Its electrical equipment is used to power and protect data centers, and it is working with NVIDIA on power-distribution designs for AI data centers; as of its July 2026 results it still owned ABB Robotics, which it agreed in 2025 to sell to SoftBank Group.
Utilities, industrial companies, data center builders and other businesses pay it for electrical and automation equipment, systems and related services.

Energy and the electrical grid. The companies that generate, distribute and manage the electricity AI infrastructure runs on. AI data centers use enormous amounts of power, so the companies producing and delivering that electricity are just as critical to the AI economy as the chip makers.

Evidence: Primary-source statement · Owned as of July 16, 2026; sale to SoftBank Group pending
Limits: States ownership only as of ABB's July 16, 2026 results; the buyer (SoftBank Group) is named in ABB's October 2025 divestment release, not this one. Any closing after July 16, 2026 was not checked (ABB and SoftBank news pages could not be opened), so the row must be retired once the sale completes.
