SGB Czech Trafo history

SGB Czech Trafo was established in 2016, when it followed on the production of dry-type distribution transformers using the Gravity Line technology, which was originally located in the Regensburg, Germany factory. SGB Czech Trafo thus continues to develop the long-standing experience in transformer manufacturing of its sister companies, SGB Regensburg and SMIT, which have been manufacturing transformers since 1947, respectively 1913 in the case of SMIT. Our factory, with a production area of 7,600 m2, is located in Olomouc, Czech Republic, and employs approximately 80 employees.
