Grand Transformers (GTI), a Grand Haven, Mich.-based designer and manufacturer of transformers, inductors and custom magnetic components serving the motor drives, elevator, power quality, instrumentation, energy, machine tool, and oil and gas industries, today announced it has acquired Warner, N.H.-based Warner Power, a leader in the design and manufacture of electrical transformers and power systems.

Warner Power provides highly engineered power conversion products that improve process reliability and efficiency for a broad range of industries worldwide. The acquisition of Warner provides GTI with access to new customers, technical capabilities and industries, and the two companies will complement each other on their shared strengths. The manufacturing facilities of both companies will continue production in order to service the company’s current clients and capitalize on the shared geographies. Management teams from both companies will remain in place with Nick Hoiles, current CEO of Warner Power, being named as CEO of the combined businesses.

“Warner is a recognized leader in the industry for providing highly technical and reliable electrical power products that allow system owners to precisely control complex, mission critical industrial processes that meet stringent and time-sensitive production goals. The acquisition of Warner adds significant technical capabilities to GTI, thereby expanding our ability to serve our existing customers’ needs in the medium voltage market and in liquid-cooled transformer applications,” said Jeff Helminski, chairman of the board of GTI and managing director at Blackford Capital.

“GTI has experienced strong growth since partnering with Blackford Capital, as we continue to develop growth-focused infrastructure and expand GTI’s capabilities. The addition of Warner’s power supply capabilities and a tremendously talented executive team will continue to build on the success the GTI management team has achieved under the leadership of Steve Parker, GTI’s current CEO. This acquisition forms the definitive market leader for custom magnetics and power supply systems. We are very excited about what the future holds under Nick Hoiles’ leadership and will continue to look for other strategic acquisition opportunities to grow the company,” added Helminski.
