VanTran Transformers

Through VanTran’s collaboration with Shell Lubricant Solutions, we deliver superior reliability and performance with Shell Diala S4 ZX-IG — insulating fluid based on advanced Shell gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology. Engineered for excellent low-temperature viscosity, this oil ensures efficient heat transfer inside transformers, even in extreme cold conditions. Compared to traditional naphthenic oils, Shell Diala S4 ZX-IG offers enhanced thermal stability that slows the aging of both oil and insulating paper, extending transformer life. Trust VanTran and Shell to help protect your transformers and maintain optimal performance in all conditions.

VanTran, in collaboration with Shell Lubricant Solutions, is redefining transformer performance. Shell Diala S4 ZX-IG, derived from purified natural gas, features a consistent iso-paraffinic molecular structure for reliable performance—unlike naphthenic oils, which can vary by source and refining method. Its superior gas-absorbing properties make it ideal for high dielectric stress environments where safe operation is critical. Trust VanTran and Shell to deliver performance and protection when it matters most.

Through Vantran’s collaboration with Shell Lubricant Solutions we can deliver greater reliability and superior performance from a transformer oil-based on Shell gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology. Shell Diala S4 ZX-IG has been engineered to cope with the severe dielectric stresses imposed by the higher voltages and optimized dimensions of the latest transformers while contributing with longer operational lifetimes thanks to enhanced protection, increased reliability and greater efficiency. Trust Vantran and Shell to help maintain your transformer for optimal performance.

Today marks the grand opening of VanTran/MGM Transformers and our new 430,000 square-foot advanced manufacturing facility in Waco, Texas. The new transformer plant is expected to unlock over $1 billion in annual transformer production capacity and create 700 American jobs.

Our partnership with MGM Transformer Company to open this plant allows us to better support the rapidly expanding grid – from AI data center growth and clean energy production to the resurgence of American manufacturing. We are honored to be leading the industry with domestic transformer production and supporting a resilient and modern electric grid as the largest custom distribution transformer manufacturer in North America.

A huge thank you to Shepherd's Heart in for all that you do for our Waco community!

VanTran has supported Shepherd's Heart in its mission to eliminate food insecurity in the Waco Area, and has helped feed hundreds of children during the summer months for the Hunger Heroes Challenge. Last week, we were recognized by Shepherd's Heart for our efforts to support the community for the 3rd consecutive year! Thanks to all who donated this year to help feed over 120,000 families in the Waco area!

'We owe it to them': Central Texas non-profit feeding local youth during the summer months Shepherd’s Heart provided food for close to 100,000 families last year, and this year they’re looking to surpass that — one of their main priorities is making sure children are fed during the summer.
