What Reco does
RECO Transformers Pvt. Ltd. is an Indian manufacturer of Low Voltage Instrument Transformers, founded in 1987 as a Small Scale Industry unit in Wadala, Mumbai, and relocated to a manufacturing facility in Lonavala in 2005. The company produces Current Transformers in three insulation constructions (Resin Cast, ABS Encapsulated, and Tape Insulated), Voltage Transformers (10 VA to 150 VA), Control/Isolation Transformers (10 VA to 100 KVA, shell and core type), specialized Ring Main Unit CTs for 11KV applications, and Three Phase Series Chokes (0.37 KW to 25 KW) launched in 2023. Core technical capabilities include vertical integration from in-house Toroidal Core manufacturing (over 32 years of experience) and proprietary Unicore CRGO Core design for Control Transformers in the 7.5 KVA to 15 KVA range.
The company operates a direct enterprise field-sales model targeting power generation, transmission and distribution utilities, electrical equipment OEMs, and industrial customers in oil and gas, steel, and heavy engineering. Products are custom-engineered to customer specifications with quote-based pricing, supported by factory tours and direct phone/email sales channels. Approved vendor status is held with major Indian PSUs and large private-sector customers including PowerGrid, NTPC, Tata Power, ONGC, BHEL, SAIL, Tata Projects, EIL, Mecon, Aker Solutions, Toyo Engineering, and Cosma, with products type tested to IEC 61869:2012 at ERDA and CPRI.
RECO is a privately held company with no disclosed funding, headcount, or revenue, and no parent entity. The business is operated under founder-ownership out of a single manufacturing shed in an industrial estate near Lonavala, 90 km from Mumbai, with a registered office retained at Wadala, Mumbai. The company does not disclose any AI, software, or digital capabilities, and its value proposition is grounded entirely in custom-engineered, IEC-compliant LV transformer hardware sold directly to industrial enterprise customers.
