 RITZ Instrument Transformers GmbH – Core competency

Under the trading name „RITZ Instrument Transformers GmbH” RITZ has been pooling its activities to gather new strengths
since 01.08.2007.

The tradition and knowledge of the parent company „RITZ Messwandler Hamburg“ and the subsidiary „RITZ ­Messwandler
Dresden (TuR)“ has been united with the companies “Wandler- und Transformatoren-Werk Wirges (WTW) and
­“Messwandlerbau Bamberg (MWB)” under this name. This merger unites a total of more than two hundred years of know-
how in instrument transformers production.

In addition, RITZ has decided to concentrate on the core business of medium voltage and low voltage transformers in
which the high voltage division is sold. The resources gained through this shall now be applied for additional innovations
and quality standards in the medium and low voltage products. RITZ is therefore securing its position on the global market.

The overseas corporations of RITZ Instrument Transformers GmbH in Austria (Marchtrenk), Hungary (Kecskemét), China
(Shanghai) and USA (Hartwell) strengthen the company’s position on the international market.

1.1 General

Instrument transformers are transformers, which convert high currents or voltages into measurable and standardized
currents or voltages, which are proportional and in-phase to the primary signal. They are intended to supply electrical
measuring instruments, meters, relays or other electrical devices.
