Hammond Power Solutions Increases Planned Capital Program
August 26 2024 - 7:00AM
Hammond Power Solutions Inc. (“Hammond”) (TSX: HPS.A) a leading
manufacturer of dry-type, cast resin transformers, and related
magnetics, today announced its intention to increase its planned
capital program by approximately $20 million over two years.
“Hammond continues to experience favourable
industry tailwinds for certain products driven by the
electrification of our economy,” said Adrian Thomas, CEO of Hammond
Power Solutions. “These investments will be made over the course of
2024 and 2025 to expand production in Monterrey to build custom
power transformers which will remove current capacity bottlenecks
and add significantly to our revenue capacity.”
This new expansion will support Hammond’s power
transformer portfolio of large, high-power transformers which are
widely used in several commercial and industrial markets. With this
expansion, Hammond will shorten wait times and enhance our North
American delivery platform.
Since 2022, Hammond Power Solutions has invested
approximately $80 million in capacity increases for its entire
product range, the most recent being our new facility in Monterrey
to build small low voltage and power quality products, which opened
at the end of the second quarter of 2024.
