On October 14, ABB staff met with the students, introduced them to ABB’s pulp and paper business, and demonstrated how the company’s products and services help papermakers.

“Not only did all the visitors get excellent presentations about ABB's business, products, technology and services, they were also particularly impressed by ABB's teamwork,” said Shin-Chin Chen, a corporate executive engineer with ABB’s Pulp and Paper Division in Westerville. “These students will remember ABB for a long time.”

The students took part in presentations on ABB’s pulp and paper technologies, led by experienced ABB staff including Charlie Young, Steve Sturm, John Spachman, Andy Broomfield, Randy Niemeyer, Kevin Starr and Don Gillespie. The presentations covered measurement technology, actuator technology, control system technology, and project delivery and service. Åke Hellström, a retired ABB chief engineer, explained how ABB’s integrated Quality Control System helps create quality paper and demonstrated ABB’s System 800xA.
