Swiss-Swedish, actually. (Asea was Swedish; Brown Boveri was Swiss; they merged to form ABB.)

There's also a strong Finnish branch. The 1889 founded electrical company Strömberg in Finland was bought by Asea in 1986 and after the Asea - Brown Boveri merger in 1988, the company was named ABB Strömberg for a while.

I'd like to have one  :)

Even if it was only branded by ABB and not specifically developed by them, it must have been a high quality product.

its amusing how it was stable for a long time and then it started being reacquired. If that trend continues will companies be reacquired continuously by HFT algorithms? The company owner changed 31211 times since the lunch break, and the virtual HQ is currently setup in the temporary confederation of states  and republics located in south eastern Luxembourg IV and we are either looking to a transfer of ownership to the Nike/Dale fruit/shoe company or collectivization due to the warlords communist uprising of north eastern Luxembourg IV within the next 4 seconds.

ahh the business focused mindset, no more transceiver design for you, its managing Chinese fruit sorting machines via meta from now on.

I can't get over that Bell Labs is now owned by Nokia (a Finnish company).
