A hundred powerful years

Timo Serke, Analyst

A hundred years of reliable power transmission, a hundred years of expertise manufacturing products for energy technologies, and a hundred years of innovation. Very few companies can celebrate that kind of an anniversary. The R&S Group is one of them.

Wherever power is transmitted or distributed, the R&S Group’s products are to be found. With its own subsidiaries in Europe and the Middle East and a global network of partners, the R&S Group produces and sells distribution and power transformers, high-voltage switching devices as well as selected products for railway electrification and high-current connectors

Sales spanning the globe
Transformers are R&S’ core business. They are manufactured in Switzerland, Italy, Poland, and the United Arab Emirates and delivered to customers around the world. Examples of this solid success include Ferrari’s new R&S-equipped technical building at its headquarters in
Maranello with over 20 transformers and Amazon’s choice of R&S to supply the transformers for its new logistics center in northern Italy. R&S recently received an order worth millions from Qatar for distribution transformers. Over the past 20 years, CERN has installed more than 200 R&S transformers in Switzerland. 

Rauscher & Stoecklin: celebrating 100 years of success
On June 28, 2019, Rauscher & Stoecklin, the original company of the R&S Group, celebrated its 100th anniversary at its main factory in Sissach, Switzerland. Customers, partners and suppliers were invited to celebrate with the company and its employees. The popular “beer transformer”, interesting factory tours, and much more ensured visitors’ full satisfaction. Rauscher & Stoecklin experts explained the various steps involved in manufacturing a transformer, presented the switchgear hall, and recounted the company’s history from 1919 to the present. 

Standstill is not in R&S’ vocabulary
Rauscher & Stoecklin’s 100 years of success spur the R&S Group to keep tackling new technical challenges and driving innovation forward in the future. As the last remaining manufacturer of oil-cooled distribution transformers in Switzerland, Rauscher & Stoecklin is a worldrenowned name. And to keep it this way, R&S will provide a platform through which its customers can digitally access the technical documentation of any given transformer using the barcode on its nameplate. Later enhancements will enable customers to retrieve and store the transformer’s operational data in real time. This is just one example of how the R&S Group strives to stay always a step ahead of the pack. Because standstill is not in R&S’ vocabulary.
