Navigating Geo-Political Risks & Global Competition in the Transformer Industry: OEM, Industry and Utility Perspectives
As the transformer industry continues to evolve amid shifting global dynamics, manufacturers and customers (utilities, industrials) are navigating a complex mix of geopolitical risks, supply chain pressures, and extending delivery times as demand continues to exceed supply.
This session brings together leading voices from OEMs, industrials and utilities to discuss how the sector is adapting to maintain resilience, build capacity, and ensure competitiveness on the global stage.
- Competitive Strategies for OEMs: How transformer manufacturers are responding to rising overseas production capabilities and market demand pressures.
- Risk Management in Sourcing: How utilities are mitigating geopolitical and supply chain risks while maintaining quality and reliability across diverse supplier bases.
- Collaborating for Resilience: The evolving partnership between OEMs and utilities to address geopolitical uncertainties, strengthen supply chains, and foster innovation across the energy ecosystem.
- Driving Productivity Through Automation: How OEMs and utilities are leveraging automation, digitalisation, and advanced manufacturing to increase throughput via increased productivity, reduce lead times, and remain competitive amid global cost and capacity pressures.
