History of Stonebridge Electromechanical Engineering
Stonebridge Electromechanical Engineering traces its roots to a movement within the transformer industry around 2010, which created the opportunity to establish a new company. Backed by more than 35 years of experience in the transformer sector, the company entered the market through a partnership with a major mini-substation producer serving the mining industry. By 2012, this partnership concluded, paving the way for the creation of Stonebridge Power Transformers. Building on this foundation, the company expanded in 2015 by incorporating ADD Sheet Metal, evolving into what is today known as Stonebridge Electromechanical Engineering (Pty) Ltd. This milestone combined transformer expertise with sheet metal manufacturing capabilities across diverse industries, including telecommunications, refrigeration, generator enclosures, and solar plant infrastructure. In 2025, the company further enhanced its capabilities by introducing laser cutting services, enabling the production of intricate, high-precision metal products for both industrial and urban applications. Today, Stonebridge Electromechanical Engineering stands as a dynamic and versatile manufacturer, proudly serving multiple sectors with high-quality transformer solutions and precision-engineered sheet metal products.
