Electrical insulation systems for power and distribution transformers
Weidmann manufactures cellulose-based electrical insulation for transformer OEMs and end-users across power, distribution, and high-temperature applications. The company is scaling manufacturing capacity—21 of 48 active hires are factory floor roles—while managing complex operational pain points: on-time delivery, quality consistency across multiple sites, and equipment downtime on legacy production machinery. Tech stack reflects a traditional manufacturing footprint (SAP, AutoCAD, Creo, COMSOL for thermal modeling) with emerging data instrumentation (Qlik Sense, Micrometer) and workflow tools (Smartsheet, Lean Six Sigma).
