Abstract
We construct for every graph product of finitely generated abelian groups a CAT(0) cubical complex on which it acts properly and cocompactly. The complex generalizes (up to subdivision) the Salvetti complex of a right-angled Artin group and the Coxeter complex of a right-angled Coxeter group.
