Designing resilient transformer and motor supply chains now starts with materials, where sourcing strategy, performance, and qualification must align to reduce risk without compromise.
Supply chain resilience starts with materials: Building European redundancy without losing performance
Electrical steel, copper and insulation materials remain the most fragile links in the transformer and motor supply chain. Price volatility is only part of the problem. Availability, qualification lead times and second-source readiness now shape delivery schedules.
Meet material, testing and component experts at CWIEME Berlin and explore practical paths to European redundancy without compromising performance.
GET YOUR TICKETMaterial choice is no longer just a design decision. It is a strategic one.
OEMs are increasingly reassessing how dependent designs are on single suppliers, regions or grades. Alternative materials, dual sourcing strategies and regional redundancy are becoming standard topics in engineering reviews.
The challenge is balance. Performance cannot be compromised. Standards still apply. Efficiency targets remain.
This is where material suppliers, testing providers and OEM engineers need to meet face to face. Material substitution only works when manufacturability, testing and lifetime behaviour are understood together.
CWIEME Berlin brings raw materials, processed materials, testing systems and OEMs into one room. That proximity shortens qualification cycles and accelerates decision making.
Resilience is not built after disruption. It is designed into the product.
