Powertech Transformers launches a state of the art Technology Centre

Released: 7th February 2012

Powertech Transformers, a subsidiary of Powertech and the JSE listed Altron Group, today announced the opening of its recently completed Technology Centre, which houses its Technology Group, in Pretoria West.

In 2006, Powertech Transformers split the existing engineering and technical departments. The engineering department would focus on the day-to-day production of electrical and mechanical design transformers whilst the Technology Group would focus on research and development, support and testing of transformers.

In 2009, when Desta Power Matla was integrated into Powertech Transformers, the Technology Group was expanded to include both power and distribution transformers.
 

Leon Viljoen, CEO Powertech Transformers says, “We decided in 2006 that Powertech Transformers needed to focus on its own research and development. The main focus of the Technology Group at present is transformer technologies. This expertise is now housed in one area, our new Technology Centre, which improves collaboration and efficiency.”
