Almost half of 2010 has gone by, and I hope you have had a good year so far. For the Low Voltage Products (LP) division, this year has been an exciting one.

We are focusing on improving our understanding of the market in order to serve our customers better.

We have also made improvements on our upstream selling, sales to market, and last but not least, to our internal processes, especially on our commitment to improve stock availability. It is important our customers find it easy to do business with ABB. In order to demonstrate how ABB’s technologies can achieve

energy efficiency within offices and homes, we have recently set-up a small lighting and building control room within our premises. Do feel free to contact our team for a visit. Energy efficiency is a key growth driver, and green buildings are important in optimizing our energy use. ABB has a lot to offer for energy and process efficiency.

ABB is also identifying new growth opportunities, and many of you may be aware of the division realignment for our automation businesses at the beginning of 2010. It has allowed us to focus intensely on businesses with similar technologies, channels to market, and service models. These changes will enable us to bring our total offering to our customers more easily, and again, reflects our ambition to be more responsive to market needs.We value our customers, channel partners and various stakeholders, and as ABB achieves sustainable growth, we also want our stakeholders to grow together with us. Let’s strive further and see what we can accomplish for what I think will be a rewarding 2010.

Achieving growth together
