“The acquisition will broaden ABB’s product range as well as open new markets for ABB products in the growing Mexican oil and gas market,” said Gorm Gundersen, head of ABB’s oil, gas and petrochemicals division. According to experts, Mexico’s oil and gas reserves are the fifth largest in the world.
ABB is acquiring FIP S.A. from Walworth de Mexico S.A. The terms of the purchase were not disclosed.
