ABM, a provider of facility services, infrastructure solutions, and parking management, has announced its plan to centralize its eMobility, resiliency, and electrical infrastructure operations, services, and training through an expanded multiuse facility. Officially named the ABM Electrification Center, the new facility will be co-located in Cumming, GA.
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.”
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. In addition, 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.
The site will also provide multiple electric vehicle chargers in ABM’s lot for immediate use, including a variety of EV chargers powered by a solar canopy for increased sustainability. Construction is slated to begin in July.
