General Electric on the nameplate

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.
