Zaporozhtransformator is a Private Joint Stock Company, formerly - Zaporozhye Transformer Plant: a company specializing in the design and manufacturing of oil-filled power transformers, shunt reactors and magnetically controlled shunt reactors, with production facilities located in Zaporizhia, Ukraine.
General information
The company was established in 1947 as Zaporozhye Transformer Plant for providing the USSR booming electricity industry with High Voltage power transformers. In 1994, due to a privatization process, the enterprise became Zaporozhtransformator Joint Stock Company.
The company has representative offices in Moscow and Almaty.
Joint Ventures
ZTR-ENESTA Handelsgesellschaft m.b.H., Linz, Austria, a joint-venture between Voest Alpina Intertrading Aktiengesellschaft and ZAPOROZHTRANSFORMATOR PJSC, is selling power transformers to utilities, industrial users and EPC contractors worldwide.
