In conversation with Engr. Fawad J Saeed, CEO Transfopower Industries
Transfopower Industries (Pvt) Limited, a leading name in Pakistan’s manufacturing sector, has been at the forefront of engineering innovation for over 30 years. Renowned for its production of high-quality transformers ranging from 5KVA to 5000KVA, the company has played a pivotal role in bolstering Pakistan’s engineering industry. Now, under the visionary leadership of CEO Engr. Fawad J Saeed, Transfopower is setting its sights on international markets, with a significant focus on Saudi Arabia and Africa.
Commitment to Quality and Export-Led Growth
In an exclusive conversation with Engineering Post, Engr. Fawad J Saeed reflected on the company’s three-decade journey, stating:
“For over 30 years, we have been committed to manufacturing world-class transformers that meet the evolving needs of our clients. Our focus has always been on quality, innovation, and now, export-led growth to compete in the global market.”
Saudi Arabia Partnership: A Major Milestone
A groundbreaking development for Transfopower has been its partnership with the Saudi government. The recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) outlines a strategic collaboration to manufacture transformers in Saudi Arabia. This initiative involves a technical technology transfer and investment from Pakistan, with plans to establish a manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia.
The project, expected to be operational by the next financial year, aims to add local value while addressing the surging demand for transformers in Saudi Arabia. Discussing this partnership, Engr. Fawad remarked:
“Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 has created incredible opportunities for companies like ours. The demand for transformers in Saudi Arabia far exceeds local production capacity, opening doors for manufacturers to contribute and expand.”
This initiative not only strengthens Transfopower’s regional presence but also deepens bilateral ties between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
Global Expansion Beyond Saudi Arabia
While the Saudi collaboration is a significant milestone, Transfopower’s ambitions extend beyond the Middle East. The company is actively exploring opportunities in Africa, with a specific focus on countries like Nigeria. To tap into the opportunities, Transfopower has been participating in international exhibitions, fostering partnerships and promoting its cutting-edge transformer solutions. Engr. Fawad emphasized the importance of these initiatives, stating:
“The engineering industry in Pakistan is undervalued. To unlock its true potential, we need to focus on export-led initiatives. By expanding into markets like Saudi Arabia and Africa, we aim to showcase the capabilities of Pakistani manufacturers on the global stage.”
A Vision Aligned with Saudi Vision 2030
Transfopower’s collaboration with Saudi Arabia aligns seamlessly with Saudi Vision 2030, a transformative framework aimed at diversifying the Kingdom’s economy and fostering local industrial development. Engr. Fawad highlighted the significance of this alignment:
“This is a pivotal moment for our industry. Vision 2030 provides a framework that not only benefits Saudi Arabia but also offers companies like ours a chance to bring innovation and value to the region.”
Looking Ahead
With its strong foundation in quality and innovation, Transfopower Industries is poised to make a significant mark on the global stage. By embracing strategic partnerships and targeting emerging markets, the company continues to demonstrate the potential of Pakistani engineering excellence. Through its efforts in Saudi Arabia, Africa, and beyond, Transfopower is setting a benchmark for the future of the industry.
