Developers of electric motor technology win the 2009 Marcus Wallenberg Prize

摘要

The Marcus Wallenberg Prize, which is awarded annually for a significant research breakthrough in the forest industry field, goes to representatives of the Finnish engineering industry in 2009. ABB Oy's product development managers Jouni Ikaheimo, D.Sc. (Tech.), Vesa Kajander, M.Sc. (Tech.) and Bengt Welin, B.Sc. (Eng.), currently retired, have played the key roles as inventors and leading developers of the Direct Drive System (DDS) for paper machines.rnThanks to them, ABB could also share in the glory - especially in Finland since DDS systems are manufactured and marketed by ABB Finland.
