ABB is a national winner in
the EEF Future
Manufacturing Awards 2012.

The company won the EEF
National Green and Growth
Award 2012 after winning
the North West Region
Green and Growth Award in
November.

The award recognises
ABB’s technical ingenuity in
persuading customers to
adopt energy saving
measures for motor-driven
processes, developing an
energy appraisal and savings
illustration app that could
help them reduce their
carbon footprint and cut
electricity bills.

The company’s Energy
Efficiency Plan was
developed to overcome
market reluctance to try
VSDs, which can reduce the
energy used by motors by
20% on average.

The energy appraisal
determines the energy saving
and CO2 emission reduction
potential of a site in just half
a day.
