Cary, NC – Engineering giant ABB, with North American headquarters in Cary, announced that it will add 130 jobs in Mecklenburg and Wake Counties.
While the bulk of those positions (about 100) will be in Huntersville, this is good news for the home team with the promise of continued growth and success.
