The company was founded in in Switzerland by Emil Haefely, an inventor who played a decisive role in the development of the electrotechnical industry at beginning of the th century. With the patent of the OIP Condenser type bushing in by Emil Haefely, the company became a pioneer in Oil type bushings. Trench France is part of the Trench & HSP Bushing group belonging to Siemens with locations in France (Trench France), Germany (HSP) and China (THVS). This close cooperation for innovation and design is supported by Siemens process and manufacturing know how. In , the Trench Group decided for Trench France to focus specifically on bushings by making extensive manufacturing investments and improving all customer relevant processes.
Siemens Limited, launched manufacturing of High Voltage Instrument transformers in , in the existing HV products factory at Aurangabad in India. The state-of-the-art facility is producing CVTs with Oil insulation and CT/PTs with SF insulation and is the only factory in India manufacturing SF CT/PTs with Composite insulators with technology support by Trench Germany. The factory also supplies GIS components (Instrument Transformers and Bushings) and Grading Caps to Siemens India. With a total area of Sq. Meters, Siemens Instrument Transformers is the market leader for CVTs in the domestic market. For SF CT/VTs, the facility has its own set up of Composite insulators. There are some key utilities/ industries from Power Generation in India, who have completely switched their CT/PT requirements to SF technology. Siemens India is also working continuously together with Global R&D on new generation and digitalized products to serve the customers with advancements further.
HSP Hochspannungsgeräte GmbH – known as HSP – has a long history in manufacturing bushings and high voltage equipment. Over years ago it was founded as a division of Meirowsky & Co., was then taken over by Dielektra AG and later by Felten & Guilleaume Energietechnik AG (F&G). Since HSP is an independent company. We develop and manufacture condenser graded high voltage bushings in RIP technology (resin impregnated paper) and RIS technology (resin impregnated synthetic) up to kV rated voltage for AC applications and HVDC transmissions. Our bushings are suitable for power transformers, switchgears, generators, HVDC and for test equipment – meeting all international standards. By consistently maintaining the highest quality standards, we have become a leader on the world market for high-voltage bushings in recent decades.
