To ensure continuity for customers, ABB will retain the Mincom management team, and its operations will be added to Ventyx, ABB s dedicated software business. For our customers this means extending the life of their infrastructure, optimizing asset management and reducing the overall cost of ownership.

With a distribution network in 19 countries, the company is a leading software player in the Asia-Pacific and Latin America regions, with customers including 17 of the top 20 global mining groups, as well as businesses in the energy sector, defense and other asset-intensive industries. Mincom has nearly 1,000 employees and annual revenues of approximately $200 million. Mincom brings expertise and experience in a range of industries, and a comprehensive set of solutions for applications such as EAM, mining operations and mobile workforce management.
