This quality begins with the selection of the wet material. In this regard, we can count on the Krempel Group as a reliable and well-known business partner. The starting material for all our products is Transformerboard IV Type B 3.1 per IEC 60641‑3. A careful 100 percent inspec­ tion of all our parts at different points of the production process is an added factor that ensures that our customers will view us as the quality leader in the industry.* Our highest quality requirement is evident in our prepara­ tions to build our insulating parts. The tactile properties are as important as a high-quality and functional packaging. In line with our guiding principles, our processes are ­certified in accordance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001. Whether in Europe, America, or Asia, we enjoy the trust of our customers from around the world. For the operators of transformers, safety and reliability are the key criteria for making decisions. This is also reflected in the purchases made by transformer manufacturers. As a supplier of molded parts to one of the largest trans­ former manufacturers worldwide, we are conscious of our unwillingness to compromise on quality. As a Siemens subsidiary, we are as familiar with the challenges of this business as if it were our own: The efficiency, weight, and service life of transformers are as important to us as they are to our customers. * 2014 customer satisfaction survey representing 80% of our customers »Both in terms of technology and quality, SICE […] has become a force to be reckoned with among the best molded parts manu­ facturers in the world […].« L. Berger, Siemens transformer factory Nuremberg Production facility in Zwönitz Molded parts for every use Our molded parts are as diverse as where they are used in a transformer: We manufacture angle and cap rings and segments; U-ring segments and U-channels as well as angle-, caps- and U-ring segments with snout in ­accordance with customer specifications.

Partner for new challenges We have experience in all voltage levels, particularly in the area of HVDC transformers. With our component and system expertise, we are a partner to trust when it comes to new developments. Even at the highest voltages and the highest DC load, our customers can rely on our expertise. We provide milestone support in transformer construction We manufactured the insulating parts for the first 800 kV HVDC transformer: with a thickness of up to 4 mm at a ­diameter of over 3,000 mm. The milestone for us in the next step became a milestone for our customer. Even in the AC range, we can handle the highest voltage levels. For example, we have already manufactured the lead exit for an 1100 kV AC transformer at our facility in Zwönitz.
