ABB signs enterprise framework agreement with Shell

ABB has signed an enterprise framework agreement (EFA) with Shell to supply low- and medium-voltage motors and related services. The agreement is for a period of five years.

With its recent acquisition of Baldor, ABB now offers a complete range of high-efficiency motors that fulfil either NEMA* or IEC* standards. This scope, together with ABB’s offer of related motor services and frequency converters, helped ABB secure this contract.

“This agreement shows that ABB’s commitment to provide the full scope of high-efficiency motors and related services creates value for a global company like Shell that is focused on safety, reliability and energy efficiency,” says Ulrich Spiesshofer, head of ABB’s Discrete Automation and Motion division.

The global agreement covers the sales, distribution and support of electrical motors for electrical rotating equipment.

“ABB’s Discrete Automation and Motion division provides products and related services that increase productivity and energy efficiency in a wide range of industry sectors and applications. Its offering includes robotics, motors, generators, drives and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that provide power, motion and control for industrial applications.

*The National Electrical Manufacturers’ Association (NEMA) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) are the world’s dominant electric motor control standards. NEMA is the US standard; IEC is the international standard.
