at Troy Industrial Solutions
{Watervliet, NY:} Troy Industrial Solutions is proud to announce that Martin Castle has officially earned the designation of ABB Drive Expert, bringing advanced expertise and service capabilities to our customers.
Martin began his career in machine fabrication, installation, and maintenance. After earning an ECM degree from Hudson Valley Community College in 2010, he transitioned from 15 years in mechanical work to 15 years in industrial electrical roles specializing in wiring and troubleshooting. With 30 years of combined experience, Martin joined Troy in September 2022, succeeding a long-tenured employee.
Over the past three years, Martin has successfully completed ABB’s extensive, multi-tiered training program. His journey included:
- ACS 580 Start-up & Commissioning Training – blending online coursework with hands-on instruction in Milwaukee.
- ACS 880 Start-up Certification – covering advanced commissioning requirements.
- Drive Specialist Training – focusing on drive sizing, application-specific selection, and sales support.
- Drive Expert Certification – ABB’s highest level of training, featuring in-depth study of drive functionality, troubleshooting, and application solutions, conducted at ABB’s state-of-the-art training facility in New Berlin, Wisconsin.
In addition to his training, Martin has been in the field troubleshooting, repairing, and commissioning ABB drives—putting his expertise directly into action for Troy’s customers.
“I want to thank Zach, Tina, and Mike for their support throughout this journey,” said Castle. “Taking over for someone with 40 years of experience is no small task, but with ABB’s training and Troy’s commitment, I’m confident in helping our customers solve their drive needs.”
When Martin isn’t busy training, he likes to spend time with his wife Kitsy, and his pit bull, Lyla, enjoying the ocean, spending time outdoors, and maintaining his collection of hermit crabs he has been collecting for over five years. Troy Industrial Solutions congratulates Martin on this achievement and looks forward to the enhanced level of support and technical excellence he will provide to customers as an ABB Drive Expert.
