Kopex is a full-service manufacturer, doing all their manufacturing and design in-house at their 10,000-square-meter factory located in Apex Industrial, Benoni, South Africa. Kopex has been designing and manufacturing dry type transformers since the late 1970s, and their experience shows in the quality of their product – the “Rolls Royce” of transformers. Dry type transformers don’t use oil, making them safer, more economical and more environmentally friendly. Dry type transformers are ideal for use in high rise buildings and “green energy” projects in remote locations. These transformers are prized for their reliability and low maintenance.
