Power Partners, Inc.

Our company began doing business as Power Partners Inc. in 2003, yet we have nearly 50 years of experience in quality manufacturing, and we have made more than 7 million transformers.

Power Partners’ roots go back to 1958 when Westinghouse built a distribution transformer plant in Athens, Georgia. The Athens plant was purchased by Swiss conglomerate ABB in 1990, and two Athens-based organizational consultants and entrepreneurs, Sherrie Ford and Steve Hollis, purchased the plant from ABB in 2003 and now lead the company. Ford and Hollis are experts in lean manufacturing and in developing work cultures that are team-based, adaptable to change, and focused on continuous improvement.

Over the years, our employees have earned a reputation for producing high quality distribution transformers, and their rapid response to customers’ needs, especially in times of severe weather, is legendary.

Power Partners’ products include single-phase and three-phase pole-type transformers at 34.5 kV and below, in ratings from 5 – 1000 kVA single-phase and 30- 500 kVA three-phase. The Power Partners operation has achieved ISO 9001:2000 certification.

The poletype distribution transformers manufactured by Power Partners are name-plated for ABB, with ABB serving as the manufacturer's representative for Power Partners. ABB is a global leader in power and automation technologies.
