Rex Power Magnetics, a leading manufacturer of high-quality electrical transformers in North America, is scaling up operations with major production capacity expansions. As demand for reliable power distribution equipment grows, Rex is responding with new facilities, upgraded technologies, and streamlined processes to reduce lead times and deliver even greater product quality.

This year marks a significant milestone in Rex’s ongoing commitment to innovation, efficiency, and meeting customer needs. From expanded square footage to advanced automation, here’s a closer look at how Rex Power Magnetics is positioning itself for the future of power transformer manufacturing.

New 60,000 Sq. Ft. Facility in Concord, Ontario

At the heart of Rex’s 2025 expansion plans is a brand-new 60,000 square foot facility located adjacent to its main plant in Concord, Ontario. This factory is designed to support faster throughput and enhanced production capabilities, particularly for Medium Voltage Power Transformers and Low Voltage Distribution Transformers—two core product lines in high demand across utility, commercial, and industrial sectors.

By expanding operations next door to its existing plant, Rex is strategically increasing operational efficiency and production flow. This proximity supports seamless material movement, consolidated logistics, and optimal workforce utilization.

Boosting Throughput and Reducing Lead Times

Customers can expect reduced wait times for made-to-order transformers. The expanded footprint gives Rex the ability to scale output without sacrificing its reputation for product quality and customer service. The company anticipates shorter turnaround times for both custom and standard transformer orders.

This is especially critical at a time when many sectors—including renewable energy, commercial construction, and electrical infrastructure upgrades—are experiencing longer-than-usual delays due to global supply chain disruptions. Rex’s expansion helps mitigate those pressures and ensures clients can stay on schedule.

Enhanced Technology and Automation

The new Concord facility isn’t just about more space—it’s about better space. Rex is making significant investments in advanced manufacturing technology, automation, and sustainability.

A key highlight of the new facility is its modernized sheet metal fabrication area, a crucial part of transformer production. This space is designed to improve throughput, precision, and consistency, all while supporting Rex’s commitment to Canadian-made quality.

Environmentally Friendly Powder Coating Line

One of the standout features is a state-of-the-art, 5-stage powder coating paint line. This environmentally responsible system improves the durability and finish of transformer enclosures while reducing harmful emissions compared to traditional painting methods.

This investment not only aligns with Rex’s environmental stewardship goals but also helps customers who are prioritizing sustainable procurement in their operations.

Dedicated Etobicoke Facility for Stock Transformers

Rex Power Magnetics is also seeing strong momentum at its 50,000 square foot facility in Etobicoke, Ontario, which opened in 2023. This plant is dedicated exclusively to the production of Standard Specification Commercial-Use Transformers, including common 1-phase and 3-phase configurations widely used across North America.

Ready-to-Ship, Made in Canada

The Etobicoke facility operates with the goal of keeping standard transformers in stock and ready for immediate shipment. This stock-ready approach provides a major advantage for electrical distributors, contractors, and project managers who need quick access to high-performance equipment.

By keeping inventory on hand and ready to go, Rex removes one of the biggest friction points in power equipment sourcing: the wait.

Customers benefit from:

• Shorter project delays
• Reliable Made-in-Canada quality
• Transformers built to North American specs

As more equipment comes online and the plant reaches full operational capacity, customers can expect even faster fulfillment, more standard product options, and the same premium quality Rex is known for.

Why This Expansion Matters

The expansion at Rex Power Magnetics comes at a time when demand for reliable and efficient electrical infrastructure is soaring. Whether it’s supporting green energy projects, upgrading outdated systems, or keeping up with urban development, transformers are the backbone of power distribution.

Rex’s growing capacity enables:

• Faster delivery of critical electrical components
• Greater flexibility for custom and complex transformer builds
• Reduced reliance on overseas manufacturing
• Local job creation and economic growth in Ontario

  The focus on automation and quality control also sets Rex apart as a manufacturer ready for the next era of electrification.

Commitment to Quality and Canadian Manufacturing

As a Made-in-Canada manufacturer, Rex Power Magnetics continues to play a crucial role in strengthening domestic supply chains. With both new and existing facilities operating in Ontario, the company supports Canadian industry while upholding high standards for performance, safety, and service.

Every product coming out of a Rex facility reflects decades of expertise, rigorous quality testing, and a commitment to innovation.

Final Thoughts: Powering the Future

Rex Power Magnetics isn’t just adding space — it’s building capacity, agility, and long-term value for its customers. With two major facilities—one focused on custom-built transformers and the other on ready-to-ship commercial units — Rex is better equipped than ever to meet evolving energy needs across North America.

As electrical demands grow, so does the importance of having a trusted transformer manufacturer that delivers not only on specs but also on service, speed, and sustainability.
