Since its establishment in 2017, Trafo Power Solutions has maintained a consistent presence at Electra Mining Africa, recognising the exhibition as a critical platform for engaging directly with mining customers and showcasing solutions built for Africa’s demanding operating conditions.
What began as a business focused primarily on supplying dry-type transformers has evolved into a specialist provider of comprehensive electrical power solutions engineered around the specific requirements of each application. Today, the company delivers far more than standalone equipment, offering integrated power solutions that support mining, industrial and infrastructure operations across the continent.
This strategic evolution reflects the growing demand from mines for reliable, fit-for-purpose power systems that can perform in remote, harsh and often unpredictable environments. From surface operations and underground mining to processing plants and critical infrastructure, power reliability is central to productivity, safety and operational continuity.
Trafo Power Solutions now provides a broad range of solutions including dry-type transformers, mini substations, mobile substations, containerised power solutions, switchgear and fully engineered electrical distribution systems. Each solution is designed around the realities of the application, taking into account environmental conditions, mobility requirements, site constraints, safety considerations and long-term operational efficiency.
“The mining sector has become far more focused on total power reliability rather than simply purchasing individual pieces of equipment,” says David Claassen, managing director of Trafo Power Solutions. “Customers are looking for engineered solutions that address the full operational requirement, and these must be solutions that are practical, efficient and built to perform in demanding African conditions.”
The company’s approach is rooted in engineering rather than standard product supply. Every project begins with understanding the customer’s operational challenge and designing a solution that addresses both immediate needs and long-term performance objectives.
“Our presence at Electra Mining Africa has always been important because it allows us to stay close to our customers and understand how their needs are evolving,” Claassen adds. “Since 2017, this event has been a valuable part of our strategy because mining customers want partners who are accessible, responsive and capable of delivering real technical support.”
Its continued participation at Electra Mining Africa reflects this customer-focused strategy. The event provides an important opportunity for face-to-face engagement with mines, engineering, procurement and construction management contractors, project houses and industrial customers looking for dependable electrical infrastructure solutions.
Visitors to the Trafo Power Solutions stand at Electra Mining Africa 2026 will have the opportunity to engage directly with the company’s technical specialists and explore how tailored power solutions can improve reliability, flexibility and efficiency across mining operations.
As mining operations place increasing emphasis on uptime, energy efficiency and project execution certainty, Trafo Power Solutions continues to position itself as a trusted engineering partner, delivering electrical power solutions designed not only to perform, but to endure.
