Winder Power, the well known Leeds Transformer and Generator Manufacturer, is moving to newer and larger premises. This move will bring a new dimension to the company’s expansion drive and to its commitment to customer service.

The new headquarters, still in Leeds, close to Winder Power’s existing Pudsey business, will provide the enhanced facilities for continued growth. The Company’s operating divisions - Winder Electrical and Newton Derby - are both long established suppliers to the power generation sector. Winder Electrical manufactures power and distribution transformers and switchgear for utilities, transportation and industry, whilst Newton Derby produces permanent magnet generators and exciters to the power generation industry, transportation and defence markets.

Scheduled for completion during the second quarter of 2008, the new premises will nearly double Winder Power’s manufacturing capability, offer larger crane facilities, and provide a more efficient office environment for the growing team.

General Manager Paul Matthews is positive of the benefits of the move to the team and customers alike, as he explains. “The new premises will increase our manufacturing space, which will speed up workflow through certain parts of the process that were bottlenecks in our old facilities. The greater crane capacity will give us more flexibility and allow us to use the floor space to maximize efficiency.”

“Meanwhile, the office accommodation will allow us to lay out the sales, design and management team areas in a more ergonomically efficient manner for improved communication and general comfort, all of which should help productivity.”
