Elpro-Energo Transformers specialises in the development and production of distribution transformers, which are used by, among others, ČEZ Group.
Elpro-Energo Transformers was launched in 2018 as a subsidiary of Elpro-Energo, which has been selling transformers of various types – dry-type, oil distribution, hermetic, oil power, current, voltage and combined instrument transformers, overhead, line current and half transformers, substation transformers and other related products since 1997.
Elpro-Energo Transformers is expanding its activities to include the in-house development and production of distribution transformers, for example for ČEZ Group. To this end, a new modern production plant was built in Hnojník in the Třinec region, Czech Republic, where production started in 2020.

René Mrajca, CEO of Elpro-Energo Transformers, about Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine):
“What I liked most was that the system is comprehensively used by Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod. Engineering is, I think, very close in planning to our type of manufacturing, even if it may not seem so at first glance. And it has, of course, planning and scheduling included by default. This was the core criterion.”
Ondřej Walica, Production Director of Elpro-Energo Transformers, about Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine):
“We were very satisfied with the implementation. The atmosphere during the project was constructive and friendly. Together, we overcame the complications caused by the pandemic delays and actively utilised the experience and advice of the ITeuro project team members.”
