USA, Virginia, Roanoke: Virginia Transformer Corporation (VTC) commemorated its 50th anniversary on 23 June.
As published in our news of 6 July, the corporation designs and manufactures power transformers across every market—utility, industrial, commercial, alternative energy, marine / offshore, transit, and data centres. The state-of-the-art plant is headquartered in Roanoke City, just outside Vinton off King Street on Glade View Drive.
In recognition of VTC’s 50-year legacy of contribution to the region’s economy and the nation, and its established position as the number one power transformer OEM in the USA, the City of Roanoke, VA has issued a proclamation declaring 23 June in Roanoke as Virginia Transformer Corporation Day.
Roanoke City Councilman Joseph Cobb read a proclamation from Roanoke City Council declaring 23 June as Virginia Transformer Day in the city. He thanked the manufacturer for its contribution to the economy, to national security, to grid independence, and to reducing imports of transformers.
Jain informed those gathered that VTC has singlehandedly reduced international imports of power transformers by 10 percent. It has contributed more than $100 M in annual economic impact to the Roanoke region. The goal is a 15 % expansion each year for the next five years.
“Going forward, transformers will continue to be at the heart and soul of transforming energy from sources of creation to sources of consumption,” said President Anoop Nanda. “The United States’ aging energy infrastructure requires many assets to be replaced to enhance grid reliability and security, and Virginia Transformer is a key player in getting that done with 50 years of expertise and innovation.”
