El.PI. Cast-Resin

What El.PI. Cast-Resin does

EL.PI. CAST-RESIN SRL is a privately held Italian manufacturer of medium- and low-voltage distribution transformers, based in Cumiana (Turin province), Italy. The company was established in 2010 as a dedicated production arm for cast-resin distribution transformers, building on the multi-decade expertise of its parent and strategic partner Elettromeccanica Piossasco srl, which has operated in the transformer sector since 1962 and produces the EP-branded oil-immersed line entirely for EL.PI. The company's product portfolio comprises three core lines — resin transformers (50-3150 kVA, up to 33 kV), dry-type transformers (25-1600 kVA, primarily for photovoltaic applications), and EP oil-immersed transformers — supplemented by a Special Manufacturing service for custom executions including retrofit replacements, dual-voltage configurations, surge arresters, and proportional-power resin units with embedded PT-100 temperature monitoring. Certifications include ISO 9001 (DNV), E3-C2-F1 environmental certification (KEMA), and EPD for cast-resin products, supporting accreditation at national and international electrical utilities.

The business operates a direct, sales-led go-to-market: customers contact the sales office for technical consultation and quotes, and significant orders benefit from project-development support and prompt delivery. Pricing is fully quote-based with no public list, and the standard catalog includes ready-for-delivery ECODESIGN T2 series units (e.g., 630 kVA and 2,500 kVA). Marketing channels are a bilingual Italian/English website, business directory listings, and trade show participation (most recently KEY ENERGY TRANSITION EXPO at Rimini, March 2025). Distribution is direct to end customers across Italy and export markets including Eastern Europe, Russia, UAE, and Africa.

Customer segments are concentrated in industrial and infrastructure companies (electrical utilities, substations, electrical line installers), the renewable energy sector (photovoltaic and hydroelectric plant operators), civil construction (low-noise indoor installations), and retrofit/replacement projects. The facility footprint — approximately 5,000 sqm of warehouses, a 2,000 sqm workshop, 500 sqm of offices and technical rooms, and 5,000 sqm of external storage — supports small-batch custom production rather than high-volume standardization. EL.PI. CAST-RESIN operates as a privately held SRL with no disclosed funding, no public listing, and headcount in the 11-50 range.

Core offering

EL.PI. CAST-RESIN SRL manufactures cast resin transformers, dry-type transformers, and oil-immersed transformers under its EP brand for medium- and low-voltage power distribution. The company also designs and builds special/custom-engineered transformer units, serving industrial facilities, electrical infrastructure projects, and renewable-energy installations such as photovoltaic and hydroelectric plants.

Product overview

EL.PI. CAST-RESIN is a manufacturer of power distribution transformers offering three core product lines: Resin Transformers (50-3150 kVA, up to 33 kV), Dry-Type Transformers (25-1600 kVA, up to 3 kV), and Oil-Immersed Transformers under the EP brand. The product portfolio also includes Special Manufacturing for custom solutions. The company leverages the experience of its parent company Elettromeccanica Piossasco (operating since 1962) and began its own production in 2010. Products serve national and international markets with applications including renewable energy (photovoltaic), industrial, civil, and infrastructure installations.

Brands

• EP: Oil-immersed transformer brand specialized since 1962 exclusively in the manufacture of MT/BT distribution transformers, marketed by EL.PI. CAST-RESIN but produced entirely by parent company Elettromeccanica Piossasco.

Products and services

• Cast Resin Transformers Vacuum cast-resin encapsulated dry-type transformers for medium- and low-voltage distribution, designed for indoor, fire-sensitive, and environmentally sensitive installations including industrial plants, infrastructure, and renewable-energy sites.
• Dry-Type Transformers Air-cooled dry-type transformers for medium- and low-voltage power distribution, offered as an alternative to oil-immersed units where fire safety, low maintenance, or environmental constraints are priorities.
• Oil-Immersed Transformers (EP Brand) Oil-immersed distribution transformers sold under the EP brand, suitable for utility substations and outdoor industrial installations, leveraging the parent company's long-standing EP product lineage.
• Special / Custom-Engineered Transformers Engineered-to-order transformers built to non-standard ratings, voltages, or environmental specifications, including units for photovoltaic and hydroelectric renewable-energy installations and special industrial applications.
