Hyundai Heavy expects the new transformer plant to provide more sales opportunities for medium-sized transformers in both the North American and Latin American markets.
According to Goulden Reports, a research firm specialising in the electricity and electrical equipment markets, the US transformer market will grow to $4.3 billion by 2015 due to increasing demand for new equipment and expansion.
