Mincom has around 1,000 employees and annual revenues of approximately $200 million. The company has a distribution network in 19 countries.

ABB will retain the Mincom management team and its operations will be added to Ventyx, ABB’s dedicated software business.
Greg Clark, chief executive of Mincom said “joining forces with ABB is a logical next step in the development of our company and a strong validation of the business, our people and our products. It will expand our global reach and service capabilities, enabling us to continue building on the business we have fostered over the past three decades.”
