Full Project Story
Hitachi ABB Power Grids expanded rapidly following Hitachi’s acquisition of a majority stake in ABB Power Grids, creating a need for a consistent and coordinated brand rollout across a large international footprint. With approximately 470 locations across 90 countries, the program required a signage partner capable of supporting Global Brand Consistency through disciplined planning, communication, and execution.
PSCO Sign Group was selected to support the Americas and Middle East regions of the Hitachi ABB rebrand program. Our team helped manage the complexity of a large-scale international rollout by bringing structure to site evaluation, approvals, fabrication planning, shipping coordination, installation oversight, and reporting. The result was a more organized implementation process built to support consistency across multiple markets.
Program Planning and Site Coordination
A successful global rebrand starts with accurate site information and strong early coordination. PSCO Sign Group worked proactively with the client to verify the initial site list, identify information gaps, and help reduce the risk of delays during the early phases of the rollout.
This stage of the program included:
- Site surveys and coordination
- Sign code checks
- Site-specific design recommendations
- Landlord approvals
- Permit coordination
Program Management and Execution
PSCO Sign Group managed the sign rollout program through a broad range of execution responsibilities across the Americas and Middle East. Our team coordinated fabrication scheduling, vendor selection, shipping logistics, installation oversight, and final billing while maintaining visibility into project progress across multiple stakeholders.
This scope included:
- Sign family development
- Wayfinding support
- Construction drawings
- First articles
- Brand books
- Manufacturing and installation
- Patch and repair work
Reporting and Cross-Regional Alignment
PSCO Sign Group organized and led weekly status meetings, compiled updates for client meetings, and developed a process to forecast potential schedule issues and recommend practical solutions. Executive leadership also collaborated with EMEA and APAC program teams, helping support alignment across regions and reinforcing a more unified implementation strategy.
