Reinhausen Manufacturing Inc. celebrates plant expansion in Humboldt
(Humboldt, Tennessee) - Reinhausen Manufacturing Inc. (RM), a subsidiary of Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen, recently opened a new, expanded production facility in Humboldt, Tennessee. With this investment in the future, the company is meeting the steadily growing demand for innovative energy solutions in North America by significantly expanding its production capacity.
The expansion underlines Reinhausen Manufacturing's long-term commitment to Humboldt and its strategic focus on growth and innovation in the field of electrical power engineering. The new facility has been designed to support advanced manufacturing processes and increase operational efficiency.
"We are very proud to complete this expansion and continue our strong partnership with the City of Humboldt, Gibson County and the State of Tennessee," said Robert Vary, president and CEO of RM. "This new manufacturing facility not only allows us to meet the growing demand for our products, but also underscores our commitment to the area by creating more jobs and promoting economic growth."
With the U.S. power grid under significant pressure due to increasing demand and aging infrastructure, including transformers, the need for reliable and innovative energy solutions has never been greater. Long lead times for new transformers, often ranging from two to four years, combined with the rapid increase in power demand from data centers and AI technologies, have left many utilities facing increasing challenges. Many of the transformers in use today were installed over 60 years ago and some manufacturers no longer exist.
Reinhausen Manufacturing offers solutions that enable energy suppliers to overcome these challenges. The company offers a range of innovations in the areas of asset management, transformer maintenance and service, and life extension strategies.
One of these innovations is the new ETOS® MD-IV (Embedded Transformer Operating System) drive for the RMV-II bolt-on tap-changer, which enables our customers to convert and digitize their transformers to modern systems. This will go into series production at the new plant as early as January 2025 and will replace the previous TAPMOTION® MD-III in the near future.
