Trafo Power Solutions expands market share
September 2026
News
As demand grows for reliable engineered electrical power solutions, Trafo Power Solutions continues to build on a strong track record of delivery, innovation and technical support to expand its presence in key sectors.
Having established itself as a trusted specialist in dry-type transformers and modular electrical infrastructure, the company is strengthening its position in mining, industrial, infrastructure, data centre and renewable energy applications by delivering solutions tailored to increasingly complex operating environments.
“Growth in our market share is a direct result of consistently delivering dependable solutions that address the operational realities faced by our customers,” says David Claassen, managing director at Trafo Power Solutions. “Clients are looking for partners who understand the risks around power reliability, uptime and safety; and who can engineer solutions that perform in demanding conditions.”
Originally recognised for its expertise in dry-type transformer technology, the business has broadened its offering to become a comprehensive provider of electrical power solutions. This includes transformers, mini substations, switchgear integration and containerised power systems designed for rapid deployment and long-term reliability.
The company’s growth strategy has focused strongly on sectors where dependable electrical infrastructure is business-critical. In mining, reliable power distribution is essential to maintaining production continuity across both surface and underground operations. “In industries such as mining, any interruption to power can have a direct impact on productivity, safety and operational efficiency,” Claassen says. “Our focus is not only on supplying equipment, but on understanding the application and engineering a solution that supports long-term performance.”
A key differentiator for the business has been its emphasis on engineered solutions rather than standard off-the-shelf supply. By working closely with clients during the design and specification phase, Trafo Power Solutions ensures that each installation is aligned to site-specific requirements, environmental conditions and future expansion plans. This consultative approach has helped the company secure repeat business and strengthen long-term relationships with customers in southern and central Africa.
The business continues to invest in technical capability, regional support structures and partnerships that improve response times and after-sales service, all of which contribute to growing customer confidence. “Our growth is built on performance, trust and engineering excellence,” Claassen says. “By continuing to deliver solutions that meet evolving market needs, we are well positioned to further strengthen our footprint.”
