Interview with ABB China leader

Claudio Facchin still clearly remembers arriving in Beijing as the new president of ABB China Ltd and head of ABB North Asia region in January 2009.

"It was cold, but China, in particular Beijing, had changed in such a fast and positive way, it really impressed and excited me, though I had seen many changes during my previous visits to China before I took the position," said Facchin, who has been working for ABB Group for 16 years, first in Italy and Switzerland.
