ABM (NYSE: ABM), one of the nation’s largest providers of facility

an expanded multiuse facility. Officially named the ABM

as a single-source solution provider across the entire EV
ecosystem, offering comprehensive engineering, design,
installation, and maintenance services, and is one of the nation’s
largest installers of EV charging stations. To build upon this
strong positioning, the planned Electrification Center will further
fortify ABM as a leader in electrification infrastructure turn-key
solutions. The more than 114,000 sq. ft. facility is designed to
house multiple solutions serving the eMobility, power resiliency
and electrification sectors, while also creating new jobs for the
Atlanta area focused on these rapidly growing industries.
Key features of the ABM Electrification Center will include:
- A first-of-its-kind
industry-leading on-site training and demonstration facility for
ABM and its partners.
- Warehouse space to increase
availability of EV, microgrid, and electrical infrastructure
equipment and supplies.
- A technology hub for testing and
developing innovative solutions across EV Infrastructure,
Microgrids, Parking, and Power Systems.
With 43,000 sq. ft. of space dedicated to
hosting dozens of operational EV chargers, the expanded facility
provides automakers, bus, semi-truck manufacturers, and other
clients with the capacity to test interoperability on new vehicle
products, as well as a variety of original equipment manufacturers’
(OEM) EV models. The site will also store EV chargers, critical
components, and key pieces of equipment such as switchgear,
ensuring quick-turn accessibility for ABM partners and customers.
Additionally, the facility will provide industry-leading on-site
training for EV charger and microgrid maintenance across all levels
of expertise, giving ABM trainees, partners, and clients the
opportunity to access the most popular chargers currently in use
for in-depth, real-world, hands-on training.
“As the country continues to embrace vehicle
electrification at unprecedented rates, it’s critical for companies
to establish the necessary infrastructure and interoperability of
new technologies to support this growth,” said Scott Salmirs,
President and Chief Executive Officer, ABM. “Our investment in
ABM’s new state-of-the-art Electrification Center is a reflection
of our commitment to help future-proof the eMobility and EV
landscape across industries and is a critical component of our
strategy to build leading positions in high growth adjacent markets
where we can leverage our strong client relationships.”
Rene Jacobsen, EVP and Chief Operating Officer,
ABM added, “Our clients are facing this growing demand for EV
service while navigating an explosion in emerging technology and
options, coupled with supply chain and manufacturing demands which
all can complicate EV decision making. This first-of-its-kind
Electrification Center further strengthens and fortifies our
position as a national leader in forward-looking facility solutions
and bolsters our goal of providing new and sustainable career
opportunities geared toward the economy of tomorrow.”
The ABM Electrification Center’s co-location
with ABM’s RavenVolt campus will centralize all the Company’s
electrification services to meet the emerging needs in eMobility,
parking, power, and more. This includes delivering the microgrid
technology many companies rely upon to power their EV charging
station networks and optimize on-site energy capabilities. Also, as
one of the country’s largest parking and transportation management
service providers, ABM will supply customers and partners with
insights and support surrounding the deployment of parking
operation best practices and maintenance needed to maintain a
healthy infrastructure.
“Our expertise uniquely situates ABM at the
epicenter of the EV ecosystem and allows us to not only provide the
physical infrastructure needed for the future of transportation,
but also enhance the experience of all those who are currently
leveraging it,” said Mark Hawkinson, President of Technical
Solutions, ABM. “Paired with ABM’s leadership in multiple facets of
the electrification process and facility operations, we are
ensuring the successful transition to electric vehicles and
informed adoption of new energy innovations for our clients. The
ABM Electrification Center will help our partners navigate this EV
evolution and enable us to provide seamless service with
up-to-the-minute knowledge for our clients from the initial
planning period and throughout implementation and maintenance.”
The site will also provide multiple electric
