for a project in Mexico.
Following recent successes in the USA, Mexico, UK, Namibia, Mogambique and the
Middle East, ABB Powertech Transformers, the leading transformer manufacturer
in Africa and the largest in the Southern Hemisphere has won an order for 2
generator transformers totalling 420MVA for installation at Valle de Mexico.
These units worth approximately $1,9 million were ordered by the Commision

This order forms part of the company's efforts to improve exports to the rest
of the World.
The 140MVA 230/13.8kV and 280MVA 230/13.8/13.8kV generator step-up transformers
are scheduled to be delivered in the middle part of 2001.

JSE-listed Power Technologies Limited (Powertech), the largest power-electrical
group in Southern Africa, and ABB, a global company serving manufacturing,
process and consumer industries, utilities, the oil and gas sector and
infrastructure markets.
Keith Plowden, Chief Executive of ABB Powertech Transformers said "It was
pleasing to receive this order for supply into a difficult and highly
competitive market. Ongoing business such as this into the Americas justifies
our recent capital expenditure on test equipment to ensure our standing as a
world class player capable of satisfying international requirements".
