Stewart Transformers
Stewart Transformers began as a small operation supplying transformers to the London radio repair sector, just prior to the second world war. During the war the still fledgling company was called upon, as part of the war effort, to supply transformers to the naval arm of the Ministry of Defence, starting a relationship which was set to continue and strengthen for decades.
Over the years the Company developed a sound reputation as a specialist manufacturer of transformers and reactors. The company has also expanded from its traditional markets of railways, shipbuilding, defence, semiconductor and high voltage testing to embrace requirements for the utility industries.
