ABBNEX LIMITED

What ABBNEX LIMITED does

Abnex is a 50/50 joint venture between ABB and Niedax Group, formally completed in November 2024 following a May 2024 announcement, that consolidates the North American cable tray businesses of both parents into a single combined manufacturer headquartered in Edmonton, Canada. The company manufactures CSA-certified and UL-listed cable management systems — including cable trays, cable ladders, basket trays, channel trays, floor boxes, surface raceways, and accessories — through six production facilities located in Edmonton and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu (Canada), Hamilton (Canada), Buffalo and Columbus (United States), and Puebla (Mexico), operating under legacy sub-brands T&B Cable Tray, ExpressTray, Niedax MonoSystems, Niedax Canadian Electrical Raceways (CER), Niedax USA, and Niedax de México.

The company's technology stack is built around physical industrial products certified to multiple jurisdictional standards: CSA for the Canadian market, UL for the US market, and DIN IEC 61537 for European-spec compliance on certain Niedax USA lines. The portfolio spans ladder, ventilated, solid, louvred, perforated, and center spine tray configurations in aluminum, pre-galvanized steel, hot-dip galvanized steel, stainless steel, and nonmetallic materials. Customization capability is explicitly positioned as a differentiator, alongside local R&D and production intended to reduce lead times versus imported alternatives.

Abnex generates revenue through hardware sales to electrical contractors, distributors, and systems integrators across infrastructure, transportation, construction, energy, oil & gas, data centers, automotive, and railway end-markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Pricing is quote-based B2B and not publicly disclosed. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with channel/distributor reach. The company is executing a $15 million, 45,000-square-foot capacity expansion at its Buffalo, NY facility announced in February 2026, signaling active investment to scale North American manufacturing output.
