In its most recent quarterly earnings report, Swedish-Swiss multinational ABB highlighted the expansion of its data center sales. In addition to developing data center power and cooling solutions, the company sells to various industrial sectors. Timo Ihamuotila, the company's CFO, stated on an earnings call that demand remained strong across the majority of customer segments, with notable gains in the data center and oil and gas industries.
CEO Bjorn Klas Rosengren added that the Data center is an essential segment for them not only in the Electrification business but also in the Motion business, which they are driving with ABB Motion, which includes generator sets and cooling motors. The chief executive officer added that ABB sold well to "both small and hyperscalers" and characterized the industry as a "healthy business." He added that it is not a margin-sensitive business for them, as they provide a healthy margin to this industry. ABB reported total revenues of $8.2 billion, an increase of 13 percent.
