VanTran Transformers Expands Waco, Texas, Production Operations

12/12/2024
VanTran Transformers, a manufacturer of oil filled transformers, plans to expand its operations in Waco, Texas. The $20 million project is expected to create up to 700 jobs over five years.

The investment includes a new 430,000 square-foot manufacturing facility. Production is scheduled to begin by the first quarter of 2025.

“We are excited for this new expansion in the City of Waco,” said Doug Banty, CEO of MGM Transformers. “This partnership between our business and the City of Waco will bring more jobs to the community and gives VanTran and MGM Transformers the opportunity for further growth. We would like to thank the Waco City Council, McLennan County Commissioners, the Waco Chamber of Commerce, and everyone else who helped facilitate this expansion.”

VanTran was recently acquired by distribution transformer manufacturer MGM Transformers. The company serves a variety of industries including Data Center, Grid, Manufacturing, and C&I by offering a full range of transformers, from 10kVA low-voltage to 10MVA medium-voltage units in both dry and liquid configurations. MGM currently operates manufacturing facilities in Mexico, Texas and California.
