ABB veteran selected to head key division

ABB named company veteran Roger Costa as president of its global mechanical power transmission division, also known as the Dodge business.

“ABB’s recognition as a global leader in the mechanical business stems from a strong culture that focuses on customer experience,” Costa says. “I look forward to joining a team that values that culture. Together, we will work to continue to develop and grow markets for our superior products.”

With more than 17 years of experience at ABB, Costa held executive roles in both the U.S. and Canada. During his tenure at ABB, Costa gained considerable knowledge of the company’s extensive operations ranging from mechanical to motors and robotics, ABB says.

Costa has a bachelor’s degree in electro-mechanical engineering from Humber College and completed an advanced university program in business management at the University of Toronto-Roman School of Management. Costa will be based in Greenville, South Carolina.

Established in the U.S. in 1878, Dodge is a manufacturer of mounted bearing, enclosed gearing and power transmission components.
