Trench Germany, the former MWB Messwandler-Bau &#; founded in &#; is located in the world-heritage city Bamberg. Based on the long-time experience with the production of high voltage equipment with epoxy-resin and oil-paper insulation, the company pioneered the design and production of gas insulated instrument transformers and developed in the first GIS SF insulated voltage transformer for encapsulated switchgear (GIS). In Trench Germany completed its kV portfolio in supplying the first kV combined current and voltage instrument transformer for outdoor installation (AIS). Today it is the competence center for gas insulated equipment in the Trench Group and offers plant and office space totaling . m². With the introduction of SF free instrument transformers with Clean Air insulation, Trench Germany once again demonstrates its technological leadership for gas insulated equipment.

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.

Trench and the companies forming the Trench Group have always been front runners in all three fields of the business. With the patent on Oil impregnated paper condenser type bushings in , Emil Haefele laid the foundation for the Trench Bushing business. In Instrument transformers the Trench Group is a technology leader since years, when in Italy the first paper oil Instrument transformers were produced. And Tony Trench, the founder of the Trench Group was a real pioneer developing Air core reactors in the early s.

In Trench Austria was established by Alois Esslinger, an electrical engineer known beyond the borders of Austria. The former name of the company until was Spezielektra Esslinger KG. From the very beginning, one focus area of the company was the development and production of reactors for electrical power system. The use of glass fiber reinforced plastic as part of the insulation of reactors was revolutionary in the s . Trench Austria gained significant international reputation in the s when supplying high current and high voltage test reactors for leadin test laboratories like KEMA in Arnheim/The Netherlands. In Spezielektra was merged with Trench Electric Toronto/Canada. This was also the starting point for the foundation of the Trench Group. Today Trench Austria in Leonding near Linz produces reactor/coil products for medium and high voltage electrical systems, both in dry type as well as oil immersed technology and is one of the worldwide leading companies in this special area of the electrical industry.
