VTC’s 5th Manufacturing Plant Will Further Extend Its Position of Shortest Lead Times in the Industry

Virginia Transformer officially inaugurated its fifth manufacturing facility in North America in February 2023. The new plant, located in Chihuahua, Mexico, has been in operation since October 2022.

The new plant is the most technologically advanced transformer facility for reliability in North America and will further extend the company’s leadership in having the shortest lead times in the industry. Virginia Transformer can deliver a made-to-specification, state-of-the-art transformer in less than half the time of its competitors.

The process from concept to production took only 15 months. The Chihuahua team pulled together to make this happen and it is wonderful to see the pride they take in serving our customers throughout North America.

The new plant (P2) is situated on 300,000 square feet with room for expansion. It joins Virginia Transformer’s original Chihuahua plant (P1), which opened in 1995. The new facility employs more than 450 people, including more than 100 engineers.
