Jain, who is also president of Virginia Transformer Corp., which has a strategic alliance with the new owners of the plant — Caravels LLC, said the plant that makes large electrical transformers lost $30 million last year, and is expected to lose further $10 million this year, reports Savannah Now.

Despite the current situation, the new owners are trying to bring back business from large utility companies and add business from renewable energy such as solar and wind.

According to Savannah Now, Jain expects the plant to turn a profit in 2017.
