The two European transformer manufacturers report productive meetings with utilities, grid operators and potential partners during the four-day exhibition, marking an early but meaningful step in building relationships within Germany.
Hamburg, Germany, September 2026
Elprom Heavy Industries and ETD Transformátory exhibited jointly at WindEnergy Hamburg, one of the wind industry’s leading global trade fairs, held at Hamburg Messe from 22 to 25 September 2026. Over four days, the event brought together developers, operators, utilities and equipment suppliers from across the wind energy value chain, giving both companies a valuable platform to engage directly with the German market and the wider community driving Europe’s energy transition.
WindEnergy Hamburg has grown into one of the most important meeting points for the global wind sector, drawing attention to the infrastructure that connects wind generation to the grid – a space where reliable, high-performance transformers play a central role. For Elprom Heavy Industries and ETD Transformátory, the event offered the opportunity to speak directly with the engineers and planners responsible for that infrastructure.
Both teams had meetings throughout the exhibition, with conversations spanning potential new customers, prospective partners, and in-depth discussions on power grid integration and modernisation. A notable share of these discussions were with representatives from German utilities, reflecting strong interest in the grid-side expertise and manufacturing reliability both Elprom Heavy Industries and ETD Transformátory bring to the table.
The key takeaway from Hamburg was clear: relationships with the German market are strengthening. These conversations represent a genuine foundation to build on – a signal that the reliability and engineering depth behind both companies’ products are resonating with one of Europe’s most demanding and influential energy markets.
That reliability is rooted in decades of hands-on manufacturing experience. Elprom Heavy Industries, based in Sofia, Bulgaria, brings more than 75 years of engineering heritage and a track record of supplying transformers to customers in over 85 countries across five continents. ETD Transformátory, based in Plzeň, Czech Republic, traces its roots to the historic Škoda Works, carrying forward more than a century of transformer engineering expertise.
Both companies operate from EU-based facilities, giving German customers the assurance of full compliance with European standards, shorter delivery distances, and reduced supply chain risk. ETD Transformátory’s location in Plzeň places it within close reach of Germany, Austria and the broader DACH region – a practical advantage as conversations with German partners continue to develop.
