This latest Prolec GE announcement raises the company’s investment commitment to its North American customers to more than $145 million. Earlier this year, Prolec GE publicized plans to manufacture three-phase pad-mount transformers in the U.S. for its renewable energy and industrial customers by adding a production line to the company’s 500,000 square foot facility in Shreveport, Louisiana. The site will undergo additional infrastructure upgrades to accommodate capacity increases for its traditional voltage regulator and network transformer customers. Prolec GE is also investing in power transformer process improvements to increase throughput and decrease manufacturing cycle times.
