GE took a controlling interest in the Stanley Electric Manufacturing Company of Pittsfield, Massachusetts in 1903 and built transformers there until it ended Pittsfield transformer production in 1987. A 1950s reorganization moved small distribution transformers to Hickory, North Carolina and medium power transformers to Rome, Georgia.
GE and Mexico's Xignux formed the Prolec GE joint venture in 1995, and GE's distribution transformer division was folded into it in 1996.
GE built its VR-1 step voltage regulator at Shreveport, Louisiana, a plant built in 1970 that Prolec GE took over in 2020. Prolec GE bought SPX Transformer Solutions, the Waukesha brand, on October 4, 2021.
GE Vernova completed its purchase of the remaining 50 percent of Prolec GE on February 2, 2026, making it a wholly owned GE Vernova business.
Reading the plate: GE general purpose dry-types are marked Type QL with a 9T-series catalog number such as 9T83B3874. GE step regulators are marked VR-1.

Selling General Electric equipment: what people ask.
Yes. Age does not stop a purchase. Older General Electric units sell for spares, parts, or metal, and the nameplate tells us which.
Close enough for us. We buy equipment under every name General Electric has carried, including GE, GE Prolec, Prolec GE.
Oil-filled units built before 1980 may contain PCBs. We sample before an offer is final. We do not give disposal guidance on the web; call and a person will walk you through it.
Yes. Failed units are worth their core, windings, breakers, copper, and steel. Tell us what failed if you know.
Clear nameplate photos get a reply during business hours. A firm number may wait on inspection or testing.
