Winder Power, a manufacturer of power and distribution transformers, has secured one of its largest contracts to date with the Port of Felixstowe in Suffolk.
The project requires Winder to design, manufacture and install 26 package substations, which will enable all diesel-powered gantry cranes at the port to be electrified.
The project work will be carried out at Winder's 80,000 sq ft factory in Leeds and on-site in Felixstowe, commencing in the summer of 2015 and running until the spring of 2018.
This is the first partnership between the Port of Felixstowe and Winder Power.
Group managing director Laurence MacKenzie said: "This project is one of the largest that Winder Power has undertaken in over 100 years of existence.
"A team of experienced engineers, led by our operations director Andy Pinkney and projects manager Dean Sumner, will be in the factory and on-site for approximately three years to ensure the successful completion of the project."
The Port of Felixstowe is the UK's largest and busiest container port, handling more than four million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) and over 3,000 ships annually. It offers services to and from 365 ports around the world.
