A U.S. manufacturer of transformers and power solutions has purchased a 158,000-square-foot facility in the Bristol Business Park to serve as a hub to build ultra-efficient transformer cores.
Electric Research and Manufacturing Cooperative, Inc. officials announced the deal Monday as part of a strategic expansion to strengthen its position in partnering with utilities and renewable energy providers.
ERMCO began leasing the facility in May 2024 and officially began operations in April. The site is in Building 4 at 13622 101st St. in the Bristol Business Park.
The facility features 32-foot clear heights, 30 expandable dock doors, 215 parking spaces and 4,000 amps of power.
According to company officials, its location near Interstate 94 and the Illinois-Wisconsin border provides important access to the greater Midwest and national markets.
“This acquisition marks a pivotal step in ERMCO’s continued growth and operational excellence,” Tim Mills, ERMCO president and CEO, said. “It enables us to scale our manufacturing capabilities, support local economies, and deliver innovative transformer solutions that meet the evolving demands of modern power grids.”
The transaction was facilitated by the real estate firm of Cushman & Wakefield on behalf of ERMCO.
