BRD Hosts Visit from Leading Tanzanian Transformer Maker Tanelec

BRD Group recently welcomed representatives from Tanelec Limited, Tanzania’s largest transformer manufacturer, to explore potential collaboration opportunities. The visit allowed Tanelec to gain insights into BRD’s innovative polyurethane insulated panel solutions.

“We were honored to host the team from Tanelec, a true industry leader serving utility and private sector clients across East and Central Africa,” said Can Liang, Sales Director at BRD. “Our insulated panel systems can significantly enhance efficiency and durability for their electrical equipment enclosures, substations, and modular site offices.”

Founded in 1981, Tanelec is the predominant provider of distribution transformers, power transformers, switchgear, metering units and related products in the region. The company also operates the largest transformer refurbishment and repair center in East and Central Africa.

BRD’s insulated panel solutions utilize polyurethane foam injected between metal skin layers, offering superior thermal insulation, fire resistance, and structural strength. These qualities make the panels well-suited for transformer housing, substation buildings, and site offices where temperature control and protection are critical.

“Tanelec was impressed by our manufacturing capabilities and commitment to developing innovative insulation products,” added Can. “We look forward to potentially partnering with them to support their infrastructure needs across the region.”
