ZREW Transformatory

What ZREW Transformatory does

ZREW Transformatory S.A. is a Polish manufacturer of oil-immersed power and distribution transformers, headquartered in Łódź, Poland (ul. Rokicińska 144). Founded in 1999, the company produces power transformers with capacity up to 160 MVA, along with distribution transformers, cast resin dry-type transformers, and instrument current and voltage transformers. Its operations center on heavy-electrical manufacturing — copper/steel winding and assembly, oil impregnation and testing — supplying transmission-and-distribution-grade equipment for power plants, combined heat and power plants, wind farms, and electrical distribution networks.

The company serves a focused set of B2B enterprise customers in the European utility, renewable energy, and industrial sectors. Named end-customers include Iberdrola (wind-farm transformers in Poland), Eurolaite Oy (battery energy storage system projects in Finland), SAK (St. Gallisch-Appenzellische Kraftwerke AG, distribution transformer supply contract), and Stadtwerk Winterthur (multi-year distribution transformer agreement). Sales are conducted via direct enterprise engagement and competitive tenders targeting utility engineering and procurement teams; project cycles are long and revenue is transaction-based on hardware shipments rather than recurring software or service contracts.

ZREW operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of R&S Group Holding AG, a SIX Swiss Exchange-listed (RSGN) electrical infrastructure group that also includes Rauscher & Stoecklin, Tesar, and Kyte Powertech. The parent structure provides ZREW with multinational sales reach, shared engineering resources, and group-level capital access. Recent operational milestones include the April 2025 inauguration of a new distribution transformer plant in Krzeczów, Poland, and a January 2024 partnership with Eurolaite Oy extending the company's footprint into Northern European energy storage projects. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed; revenue figures are not separately reported from the parent.
