USA, Gorgia, Rincon: The future stole the spotlight from the past during Virginia and Georgia Transformer Corp’s recent 50th anniversary celebration.
CEO Prabhat Jain touted his company’s many accomplishments but made it clear that he expects its success to continue during a 26 July luncheon with employees and local business leaders at the Georgia Transformer facility at 2789 Ga. Hwy 21 South.
Georgia Transformer manufactures transformers to support a variety of industries, including steel, mining, utilities, data centres and transit, among others. Its products are designed to last 60 years.
Jain said an overwhelming majority of transformers are made overseas in countries that might not share U.S. interests.
“That is why we initiated to buy your plant here,” Jain said. “We are going to make it go; we are going to make it successful; we are going to hire the people; we are going to retain them; we will work with them; and we will have activities for the employees so that they will feel this is staying home to them. Only then will we succeed and grow.”
The Rincon facility was built in 2009 by Efacec Energia using the best engineering and design concepts available. Since acquiring it in January 2015, Virginia and Georgia Transformer Corp., based on Roanoke, Virginia, has been focused on strengthening the business and operations while keeping the foundations established by Efacec intact.
Georgia Association of Manufacturers President Roy Bowen also helped Georgia Transformer observe its milestone.
“This is a celebration of a 50-year celebration of transforming power,” Bowen said. “The excellence that is around this area today has clearly been enhanced by visionary leadership, a skilled and committed workforce — you — and best-in-class transformers that are highly valued by customers in the USA and around the world. You compete on a global stage and succeed on the basis of quality and competitiveness.
