Marketing / Market Research / website for power provider/solution company

Spanish term or phrase: Abb. (in this context)

The text is from Spain and this term appears at the beginning of each heading, explaining each product or service. My first thought was "abbreviation", but it certainly isn't, then I thought about ABB products, but it is *Abb* not in capitals and then I thought that maybe it is a code as this is for a webpage - am I missing something obvious? Here are a couple of examples and TIA!
*Abb.* Soluciones a medida
*Abb.* Empresa internacional (these are separate headings with text between them)
