In a rapidly evolving industrial landscape, where the energy transition is a global priority, LTC Group stands out as a key player in the field of magnetic cores for transformers and reactors. With over 65 years of experience and an entrepreneurial vision driven by innovation, the Group continues to invest in cutting-edge technologies and in a global expansion strategy that integrates production capacity, quality, and a strong presence in strategic markets.

In 2024 and 2025, LTC Group launched a series of key initiatives to meet the growing global demand for transformer components, driven by infrastructure investments, the spread of renewable energy, and new projects related to electric mobility. These initiatives include the installation of a new slitting line, the opening of new production facilities in Italy and Dubai, as well as the development of a new site in North America, currently under construction, which will strengthen the Group’s presence on the continent and represents a further boost to its overall production capabilities.

LTC Group has recently announced the opening of its seventh production plant in Italy, located near existing facilities. The plant, covering an area of 8,000 square meters, will enable a significant increase in production capacity, estimated at approximately 10,000 additional tons of magnetic cores per year. This expansion represents a concrete response to the growing demand for high-performance magnetic solutions used in power transformers for electrical grids, industrial applications, and railway systems. The investment is not limited to quantitative capacity. The new plant is designed according to criteria of energy efficiency, operational flexibility, and digitization of production processes. It also integrates advanced quality control technologies that ensure precision, reliability, and compliance with international standards.

Confirming its global strategic vision, LTC Group has initiated a significant expansion in North America. The new headquarters, located in Hamilton, in the Canadian province of Ontario, is the result of a greenfield project developed in 2023. The site is strategically positioned: only 70 km from Toronto and about an hour from the United States border, allowing optimal coverage of both the Canadian and U.S. markets. The North American facility will be equipped with modern, automated systems. The new plant will have a dual objective: to support utilities and transformer manufacturers in North America with faster delivery times and to actively contribute to the continent's energy transition and decarbonization plans. This project strengthens the Group's international presence, already active with plants in Italy, Dubai, and Taiwan, and consolidates its ambition to remain the global reference partner for transformer manufacturers.

Another of the most representative elements of LTC Group's global growth strategy is the expansion of activities in the United Arab Emirates, where the company has been operating since 2010 with a production plant in Dubai. This hub was the first step in the internationalization process and allowed the Group to directly serve the Middle East market, strengthening competitiveness in a dynamic and rapidly growing region. Today, more than a decade later, LTC Group is taking a new step forward with the launch of a second production facility in Jebel Ali, one of the Gulf’s most strategic logistics areas. The new plant is equipped with cutting-edge technologies designed to ensure production efficiency and meet the highest quality standards. This investment in Dubai not only strengthens the Group's industrial presence in the Middle East but also demonstrates the desire to combine production capacity, innovation, and proximity to markets. With enhanced production capacity, the new Jebel Ali facility represents a strategic asset in LTC Group’s global growth plan.

LTC Group has built its success on a scalable industrial model, replicable internationally, and based on technological innovation, product quality, and customer proximity. Every new investment—be it a plant, a facility, or a process upgrade—integrates perfectly into this framework. All the Group's production plants share common standards, both from a technical and managerial point of view, and adopt uniform monitoring and quality control tools. This approach allows for flexible and coordinated production, capable of adapting to the needs of a global and fragmented market. Among the most recent developments, LTC Group is installing a new high-performance slitting line, designed to provide speed and precision in responding to growing market demand. This investment aims to further improve internal process efficiency and proactively support increasing demand, while maintaining high standards of production continuity and quality control. The flexibility of the system will allow for quick adaptation to a wide range of customer specifications, reinforcing the Group’s position as a reliable technology partner committed to continuous improvement. Moreover, attention to environmental sustainability is a transversal element: the Group adopts energy efficiency systems, waste reduction, and resource optimization in all its locations.

The expansion path that LTC Group is undertaking is not just a response to a growing demand for magnetic cores but the concrete expression of an industrial vision projected towards the future. The strengthening of production capacity, the opening of new sites in strategic markets, and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies testify to the Group's continuous commitment to ensuring value to its customers, quality to its products, and sustainability to its processes. With solid industry expertise and a constant focus on the evolving energy landscape, LTC Group continues to innovate, grow, and connect the world of energy.
