The facility which has an initial investment of 108 million dollars was completed in record time. The average life span of a transformer is 30 years, and 60 percent of the market is 20 years old or older and will soon be in need of repair or replacement.

Additionally, HPT is seeking to develop a newly constructed training facility that will foster advanced labor force, contributing to HE's target of generating 200 Million USD in revenue by 2021. HPT generated 100 Million USD in revenue in 2017.

HPT is Korea's first production plant established in U.S within the electric power industry, constructed by HHI back in 2010. It currently employs 300 members and is capable of producing 21,000MVA annually, or 80 units of Power Transformers.Through the acquisition, HE plans to fully utilize HPT in maneuvering U.S. imposed anti-dumping tariff and its protectionist policies.

Officials in HE disclosed that they will add additional sales labor force in HPT and reinforce its sales infrastructure, in preparation for future business portfolio diversification- expanding its market exposure to high voltage circuit breakers, rotary machines, power distributors, and energy solutions.
