The North American operating division of automation supplier ABB welcomed a new leader today, as 30-year company veteran Enrique Santacana took the reins as region manager of North America and head of ABB U.S. Santacana fills the position vacated by Dinesh Paliwal, an ABB veteran who last month left the company to become president and CEO of Harman International Industries, a maker of speakers and other audio products. Santacana, who most recently was the region division manager for power products in North America, joined ABB in 1977 and has worked his way up on the power side of the business, which is split between power and automation units.
