June 3, 2025

This acquisition enhances ABB’s market presence in Canada and the U.S., expanding its product portfolio and enabling the company to leverage its manufacturing, warehousing and supply chain capabilities to better meet growing customer demand. The financial terms of the transaction are undisclosed.

The enclosures market is experiencing strong growth, fueled by rising demand in data centers, OEM applications and the electrical industry. As digital infrastructure expands and electrification accelerates, the demand for safe, reliable, high-performance enclosure solutions continues to grow.

“This additional acquisition reflects our commitment to strategic growth and strengthens our ability to deliver greater value to our customers and partners” said Khalid Mandri, President, ABB Installation Products Division. “We continue to focus on opportunities that enhance our offerings to serve our markets.”

A key player in the Canadian enclosures market, Bel Products brings extensive industry expertise that complements ABB’s Electrification Installation Products portfolio and expands its reach across multiple industries. The company delivers high-quality, industry-rated offerings for a range of applications and environments.

“The acquisition of Bel Products complements our electrical offerings and strengthens our ability to deliver locally manufactured solutions,” said Mike Shenouda, Canada Region Leader and General Manager, ABB Installation Products Division. “By combining ABB’s technological leadership with Bel Products’ market expertise, we are leveraging our shared local roots to drive further growth.”

Founded in 1964 and headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Bel Products is recognized for its custom-built enclosures, housings, panels and accessories, serving key industries such as commercial, industrial, data centers and utilities. Bel Products will continue operations from the current manufacturing facility in Montreal and warehouse in Terrebonne, Quebec.

“Joining ABB marks a new chapter for Bel Products,” said Réal Bélanger, President at Bel Products. “ABB’s reputation and global reach open new opportunities for us, and we are excited to extend our capabilities and serve a broader range of customers.”
