The host of the first Factory Day at Finepoint’s Circuit Breaker Test and Maintenance Training Conference 14 years ago is once again opening its doors to conference goers this year. ABB previously hosted Factory Day in 1996, 2000, 2005, and 2007.

Since 1996, a day at a circuit breaker manufacturing plant has been a highlight of the Circuit Breaker Test & Maintenance Training Conference.

Adam Heiligensten, vice president and general manager of ABB's Dead Tank Breaker Factory, welcomes Finepoint Conference participants to the ABB high-voltage dead-tank circuit breaker factory and aftermarket high-voltage service shop. Participants will tour the Mt. Pleasant global technology and manufacturing center for dead-tank circuit breakers and the Greensburg facility, which is the U.S. hub for high-voltage services.

"ABB is proud to be hosting the 2010 Factory Day event,” Heiligensten said. “We greatly value the opportunity to showcase our people, technology, quality and manufacturing excellence, and core values to those that have helped make us successful.”

The entire week of the circuit breaker conference is dedicated to learning and knowledge sharing. “All attendees have the opportunity to become familiar with the product details and service techniques, which are lifetime tools for those in maintenance and engineering," he said.

ABB also welcomes the opportunity to learn from its equipment users on how to continuously improve its product portfolio.

“On behalf of the entire ABB team, we are proud to open our doors to the conference attendees and look forward to our time and discussions with them throughout the Conference in October," he said.

The Factory Day will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 5, 2010. See http://www.circuitbreakerconference.com for more information.
