What Transformers & Switchgear does

Etech – Electrical Technologies Ltd (legally Industrial Partners Ltd, trading as Transformers & Switchgear / Etech) operates as the exclusive representative office for the British Isles and Benelux for a select group of leading European transformer and switchgear manufacturers. The company provides an end-to-end bespoke service spanning design consultation, manufacturing coordination, and delivery of LV (Low Voltage), MV (Medium Voltage), and HV (High Voltage) transformers and switchgear. Its product portfolio includes cast resin transformers (up to 30MVA, 45kV), power transformers (up to 70MVA, 170kV), amorphous core transformers, oil-filled distribution transformers, low voltage dry-type transformers, withdrawable vacuum circuit breakers (VCB), MV ring main units (RMU), rectifier transformers, reactors, switchgear/switchboards, and special application transformers for marine, hazardous-area (ATEX), and extreme-environment deployments. Manufacturing partners include TRAFO ELETTRO SRL, Elca (ELCA SRL), Westrafo, Mace Power, TMC (Australia), Elpi Cast Resin, and Sarel, with products certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, IEC, CEI, BS, VDE, UL, CSA, BV, IEEE, ANSI, NEMA, GOST, DNV, Lloyd's Register, R.I.Na, EU Ecodesign Tier 2, and ATEX.

The business model is enterprise field sales-led, with quote-based pricing driven by detailed customer technical specifications (kVA, voltage levels, impedance, frequency, vector group, insulating media, winding materials, temperature class, cooling method, environmental factors) and multi-year project contract cadences. Customer use cases span Systems Integration (data centres, building services, power quality), Mobility (rail traction, marine, EV charging, airports, tunnels), Industry (petrochemical, heavy manufacturing, paper/pulp, cement, mining, oil and gas), Power Supplies (UPS, variable frequency drives), Transmission/Distribution (HVDC, rectifier transformers, utility-scale generation), and Renewables (wind, solar PV, hydro, wave). GTM relies on a company website, LinkedIn presence, direct quote-request contact forms, and dedicated Engineering Manager support throughout the procurement cycle. The company is privately held by management (Managing Director Shiraz Sacoor), headquartered in London (Boundary House, Unit 212, Boston Road, W7 2QE), with 15 employees, no disclosed revenue, no funding rounds, and no institutional investor involvement.
