Eric Lemarié's questions to ABBNY leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Eric Lemarié of CIC Market Solutions asked if the U.S. reshoring trend, potentially accelerated by Trump administration policies, is driving an observable increase in demand for ABB's automation solutions.
Answer
CEO Morten Wierod noted that reshoring has been an ongoing trend for several years, driven by risk mitigation and a desire to be closer to customers. He agreed that such policies would likely drive more investment in U.S. manufacturing, which is positive for automation, but cautioned that the larger question is the overall impact on the global economy.
