History
[edit | edit source]In 1903, the predecessor of ABP, ASEA (Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget) in Sweden built the first induction channel furnace for foundry operations.
In order to expand the know-how of the company and to consolidate its market position, ASEA decided to merge in 1988 with Brown Boveri from Switzerland and to form ABB (Asea Brown Boveri). The new firm added sophisticated control, automation and information technology to the products, and supplemented them with consulting, planning, start-up, and training services. Today their components and systems are used in nearly every foundry throughout the world.
In 2005, with the backing of a group of experienced foundry industry investors, the Foundry Systems group was acquired from ABB, and ABP Induction, LLC was born.[2]
In 2008 ABP Induction and the Pillar Induction Company combined their operations into ABP Induction.[3]
In January 2011, Ajax Tocco Magnethermic acquired the assets and intellectual property formerly known as Pillar from ABP Induction. The sale included the Brookfield, Wisconsin, and Sterling Heights, Michigan operations. ABP's induction melting operations in North Brunswick, NJ, and Massillon, OH, were unaffected, as were its international operations including ABP Induction Systems Shanghai, previously known as Pillar Shanghai.[4]
