ABB has entered into its first Indigenous channel partner collaboration in Canada with LaFlesche, an Indigenous‑owned advanced manufacturing, machining and rapid prototyping firm based in the Kahnawà:ke community in Quebec. The partnership will complement LaFlesche’s core offerings while strengthening ABB’s network of authorized third-party vendors by expanding access to its automation, electrification and digital solutions through an Indigenous distribution partner serving the critical industrial sectors across Canada. Under the partnership, LaFlesche becomes an authorized ABB channel partner, building on trusted customer relationships and deep technical expertise to deliver select ABB solutions and services to both public‑ and private‑sector clients. The collaboration will help ABB’s customers reduce dependence on offshore supply chains and help ensure that mission-critical systems continue operating at peak performance throughout their full lifecycle.
