US manufacturing expansion Trench Group is investing $60M to open a new high-voltage transformer bushings manufacturing facility in Charlotte, North Carolina, signaling a commitment to expanding production capacity in the United States. This presents an opportunity to offer locally-sourced component packages, after-sales support, and integrated quality management for North American utilities expanding grid infrastructure.

Global framework The company recently signed its first global framework agreement with VINCI Energies through Omexom Deutschland, indicating a push into large-scale, multinational projects. This creates a channel for bundled high-voltage solutions, strategic partnerships, and cross-border project opportunities in North America and beyond.

Integrated power quality Trench Group launched a fully integrated power quality component package from a single source at CIGRE Paris 2026. This opens upsell possibilities for utilities seeking simplified procurement, reduced interoperability risk, and end-to-end solutions for reliability, grid modernization, and compliance.

Grid expansion readiness With a focus on supporting America’s grid expansion and a new U.S. manufacturing footprint, there is a clear opportunity to target utilities and municipals undertaking substations and transformer refurbishments with high-voltage bushings, instrument transformers, and related components aligned to local content and warranty programs.

Sustainability edge As a sustainability-focused innovator in high-voltage assets, Trench Group can be positioned to win RFPs that prioritize green lifecycle performance, compliance with NFPA 70E, and ESG criteria, appealing to utilities and partners aiming to reduce carbon footprint and increase reliability.
