ABB, Chint Electrics, and IEAC collaborate to support Chinese industrial companies entering Southeast Asia and other international markets with integrated supply chain and localization solutions
July 27, 2026 — ABB has joined hands with Chint Electrics (Chint Electrics Co., Ltd.) and the Innovative Emerging Advanced Manufacturing Export Alliance (IEAC) to explore new opportunities for Chinese enterprises expanding into global markets. The “Smart Global Supply Chain, Powering the Future — ABB Cross-Border Business Supply Chain Solutions Exchange” event focused on international market trends, overseas supply chain cooperation, and localized service capabilities, with Southeast Asia highlighted as a key growth region.
As global industrial supply chains continue to evolve, Chinese manufacturers are accelerating their transformation from traditional product exports toward global capability deployment. Companies entering overseas markets increasingly require not only competitive products but also international certifications, reliable supply chains, local technical support, and long-term service capabilities.
Supporting High-Quality Global Expansion Through Industrial Technology
During the event, ABB emphasized the importance of combining global technology resources with local innovation capabilities to help Chinese enterprises improve their international competitiveness.
According to ABB, China has developed into a major global manufacturing hub and innovation center. By leveraging its worldwide R&D network, manufacturing capabilities, and industrial ecosystem, ABB continues to provide advanced electrification and automation solutions for companies expanding into emerging markets, including countries along the Belt and Road initiative.
ABB highlighted that technological reliability is becoming increasingly important in uncertain global markets. Through internationally recognized product standards, digital power solutions, and intelligent electrical technologies, ABB aims to help industrial customers achieve a smoother transition from “going global” to “competing globally.”
Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities Support International Market Requirements
Beijing ABB Low Voltage Equipment Co., Ltd., one of ABB’s important low-voltage manufacturing facilities in China, showcased its manufacturing capabilities during the event. The facility integrates international quality standards, intelligent manufacturing processes, and sustainable production practices.
The factory features advanced testing facilities, including CNAS-certified laboratories, along with professional quality management systems designed to ensure product reliability and compliance with global market requirements.
ABB stated that products manufactured at the facility are currently serving customers in more than 60 countries and regions worldwide, demonstrating the company’s ability to support international industrial projects through stable production capacity and global supply chain coordination.
Southeast Asia Becomes a Key Destination for Chinese Industrial Companies
Southeast Asia has become one of the fastest-growing destinations for global industrial investment. Countries including Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand are attracting manufacturing industries such as renewable energy, electric vehicles, semiconductor packaging and testing, and industrial automation.
At the exchange event, Chint Electrics introduced its “Jingwei Plan,” an overseas expansion strategy designed to connect domestic customer resources with international market opportunities. Through its global distribution network and Southeast Asian platform resources, the company aims to help Chinese industrial customers convert domestic business opportunities into overseas projects.
The strategy focuses on building a complete overseas business chain covering market development, customer connection, product supply, project delivery, and technical services.
Building an Integrated Overseas Support Ecosystem
IEAC provided insights into current Southeast Asian industrial development trends and the future direction of Chinese manufacturing globalization. The organization pointed out that simple product exports are becoming insufficient in today’s competitive international environment.
Chinese manufacturers need to shift from exporting individual products to delivering complete industrial capabilities, including technology solutions, supply chain support, engineering services, and localized operations.
ABB also introduced its overseas-oriented product portfolio and solutions designed to meet international requirements. Products complying with standards such as IEC and UL, combined with digital technologies for smart power management and intelligent buildings, enable companies to better adapt to different regional markets.
Through cooperation with partners, ABB aims to establish a comprehensive overseas service system covering product supply, engineering support, installation, operation, and maintenance.
Strengthening Global Industrial Cooperation for Future Growth
The collaboration between ABB, Chint Electrics, and IEAC reflects the growing importance of ecosystem-based competition in global industrial markets. Successful international expansion increasingly depends on cooperation among technology providers, manufacturers, distributors, and service partners.
For industrial automation and electrical equipment users worldwide, stronger cooperation between global technology companies and Chinese manufacturers will create new opportunities in areas such as factory automation, intelligent manufacturing, renewable energy, and infrastructure development.
ABB stated that it will continue strengthening its technology, manufacturing, and ecosystem advantages to support Chinese enterprises in achieving sustainable global growth and improving their competitiveness in international markets.
