ABB Türkiye steps into 2026 with strategic investment targets

ABB Türkiye aims to implement new investments for capacity increase in its production facilities in Türkiye in 2026.

The company completes 2025 with a performance in line with its expectations.

ABB, the Switzerland-based electrification and automation technologies leader; In 2025, it attracted attention with its strong financial performance in its operations in Türkiye, its exports to more than 100 countries and its overall performance that developed in line with its expectations. The company positions 2026 as an “investment year” for Türkiye.

Operating in Türkiye with approximately 900 employees, ABB offers solutions in a wide range of areas, from modernization of electrical infrastructure to industrial automation, renewable energy integration and robotic applications. In addition, ABB Türkiye, which plays an important role in ABB’s global supply chain with its export operations carried out from its facilities in Dilovası, Tuzla, Bursa and Izmir, is leaving 2025 behind with a performance in line with expectations.

ABB Türkiye Chairman of the Board of Directors Başar Vural stated that 2025 will be a challenging year but in line with expectations; “ABB is a global technology leader offering electrification and automation solutions in more than 100 countries with more than 140 years of experience for a more sustainable and resource-efficient future. We are not only a brand that provides products in Türkiye for 42 years, but also a technology partner that creates a multiplier effect for our customers, contributing directly to the industry, infrastructure and economy. We have strengthened our position in the sector by performing financially successfully in 2025,” he said.

Stating that their goal in Türkiye is never just profitability, their main goal is to provide added value and grow, Vural announced that they plan to make important investments in Türkiye in 2026:

“Turkey is positioned as a strategic bridge between the European, Middle Eastern and African markets in ABB’s global strategy. We aim to realize significant investments in 2026 in Türkiye, which stands out as a country with low external dependence, suitable for trade and opportunities during the de-globalization period. With these investments, we aim to expand our facilities and increase our export capacity. With these investments, which will strengthen our plan to become a technology base serving not only Türkiye, but also the countries of the region and global operations, they will also benefit our country.” “We will also increase the economic added value we provide.”

Exiting robotics, a strategic growth move

One of the most important developments for ABB in 2025 was the decision to transfer its robotics business line. Vural emphasized that this decision is a strategic strengthening step and said:

“Although our global market share is strong in the field of robotics, we see that the added value for ABB is much higher in areas such as electrification, automation, digitalization and industrial software. ABB is a company that can make agile decisions with the requirements of today and the future; as in past examples, today we direct our resources to today’s needs and future growth areas in which we are experts.”

On the other hand, ABB, which announced that it increased its annual Operational EBITA margin target range from 16-19 percent to 18-22 percent with the sustainable high profitability it has recently achieved in all areas of activity globally, announced that it will focus on its activities in three main business lines: electrification, motion and automation, after the transfer of the robotics business line is completed in 2026.
