Siemens has announced an agreement to acquire California-based Trayer Engineering Corporation, a company involved in the design and manufacturing of medium voltage secondary distribution switchgear suitable for outdoor and below ground applications. Trayer specializes in hermetically sealed padmount and submersible switchgear that is resistant to extreme weather conditions.
The company will provide complementary technologies to the Electrification and Automation Business Unit at Siemens to further support the market trend of undergrounding overhead electrical networks, increasing resilience of North American distribution grids. Siemens will increase the availability of Trayer’s submersible and padmount switchgear portfolio by its widespread presence in the market.
Trayer has a long history of producing maintenance-free switchgear designed to thrive in the most challenging circumstances. Its submersible distribution switchgear can be used in areas prone to flooding or extreme weather conditions, providing reliable electrical distribution while being protected from water and environmental damage. Padmount switchgear is typically installed at ground level in residential, commercial, and industrial areas, offering easy access for safety inspections and operation while ensuring reliable, safe, and efficient electrical distribution for underground electrical grids.
Trayer was founded as a family business in 1962 and currently employs 130 people. It will continue to operate as a separate legal entity, under the banner “A Siemens Business”. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval, and closing is expected in calendar year 2024. Terms of the transaction are not disclosed.
