MGM Transformers and VanTran Transformers recently announced the opening of their new 430,000-square-foot advanced manufacturing facility in Waco, Texas.
The new plant is expected to unlock over $1 billion in annual transformer production capacity.
Following MGM Transformers’ acquisition of VanTran in 2024, the combined company unites decades of engineering leadership in both dry-type and liquid-filled transformer technologies.
The new facility will focus on custom liquid-filled transformer production to meet soaring demand from data centers, renewable energy, EV charging infrastructure, and utilities.
The U.S. transformer market is projected to grow from $8.3 billion in 2022 to over $14 billion by 2032, underscoring the urgent need for domestic production capacity at scale.
Founded in 1974, MGM Transformers is one of the largest distribution transformer manufacturers in North America. The company serves a wide variety of industries including Data Center, Grid, Manufacturing, and C&I by offering a full range of transformers, from 10kVA low-voltage to 10MVA medium-voltage units in both dry and liquid configurations.
VanTran was founded in 1963 in Vandalia, IL, and has been a leader in providing high-quality, custom distribution class transformers to meet the unique demands of the electrical industry.
