2011 - ABB announces production of A100 series in China ABB Turbocharging: Prepping for Growth in China (Jan. 2012) http://www.marinelink.com/news/turbocharging-prepping342177.aspx

2013	Even in early 2013 had the Turbo Systems division due to weak demand from shipping a reorganization with the closure of the plant in Deitingen and the reduction of nearly 150 jobs announce. The business has now recovered and stabilized according to ABB. https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://www.srf.ch/news/regional/aargau-solothurn/abb-turbo-systems-hat-13-millionen-in-testcenter-investiert&usg=ALkJrhjOoFWtToKPF706UzPmiInD5rVqiQ http://www.srf.ch/news/regional/aargau-solothurn/abb-turbo-systems-hat-13-millionen-in-testcenter-investiert How much ABB Turbo Systems implements, he can not tell. He points out that are employed around 7,000 employees working in around 900 for the turbo system, this will give a basis for comparison. So the business accounts for more than 10 percent of the total ABB Switzerland sales. ABB Switzerland in turn is responsible for about 10 percent of sales of the entire group. 2014	Wärtsilä in collaboration with ABB Turbocharging to service Royal Caribbean Cruises (June 2014) http://www.wartsila.com/en/press-releases/wartsila-in-collaboration-with-abb-turbocharging-to-service-royal-caribbean-cruises-in-ten-year-agreement
