With the exchange of standard equipment for the modern WMagnet motor line, Buettner gains more productivity and saves on power consumption.

WEG’s HV equipment supplied to Veracel totals around 2,200 HP: equivalent to over 30 medium - sized cars.

WEG has further advanced its position as a leading global supplier of power transformers, with the inauguration of a new state-of-the-art transformer manufacturing plant in Mexico. Officially opened on April 14th 2010, the new plant is sited adjacent to WEG’s existing motor plant, which manufactures low and medium voltage motors, generators and control panels for automation systems.

Chilean mining company counts on WEG motors and rheostats to drive its conveyor belts.

WEG high voltage substations and medium and low voltage motors will equip units to be operational in Brazil by 2013
