BEST MANUFACTURING Op-Ex Manufacturing
BEST Transformer is the only capable manufacturer to proceed with inhouse facilities
suchas transformer tank production factory manufacturing all related mechanical parts
like turrets, conservators and flitch plates, core production factory where the mother coils
are slit, cut and stacked together and winding workshop where all types of winding can
be produced on the vertical and horizontal machines . These basic steps of manufacturing
of all stages in one facility provide a better overview of on time delivery, BEST quality level
and solution constraint. By the advantage of inhouse manufacturing, BEST
Transformer has always been in a fully confident position towards their customers.

BEST Transformers always find the most appropriate solution to the National Utilities in any cases. Efficiency and
stability are the major priorities for a grid system of a country. Whether on low voltage or high voltage levels, plus
without any limitation in power level up to 1,250 MVA, BEST Engineering Team creates definitive solution with the The 50,000+ MVA annual manufacturing capacity and the support of 1,000+ employee
assistance of deep experiences and high engineering skills in compliance with customer requirements. are the one of the major reasons for becoming the biggest national manufacturer.
24 hours/3 shifts continues working time, separated special divisions and harmony
between working groups are combined with BEST Ethics every day and night.
TESTING
We are one of the manufacturers with extensive testing capacity. Today, we can carry out electrical and
functional tests at our fully owned 6 test laboratories in accordance with the requirements of recognised
standards such as IEC, IEEE, GOST and NEMA. In addition to routine tests, we also execute specific tests
such as temperature rise tests, impulse voltage tests and noise measurements. The capability of our testing
laboratories is up to 1,250 MVA and 765 kV.
With today’s digitalization requirements, we also undertake online testing via live remote witnessing system
where our customers can attend the testing virtually.
When required, short circuit withstand test may also be applied to our transformers at international accredited
test laboratories such as KEMA or CESI. Until now, we have an extensive transformer list in different power
and voltage levels which are all passed the short circuit withstand tests in above mentioned laboratories.
Every different transformer in this list is an ornament for BEST Transformers’ history and future.

SUSTAINABILITY
Consider for a moment that children must inherit the world and its environment as we adults
leave it for them. The ethical and right thing to do, given the real and present hazards facing our
Interconnect Energy Systems
world from climate change, is to get a plan for managing the challenge by accepting it as our own and better link/integrate renewable words to be separated to the grid
and leave our kids with a sustainable future.
Prioritize energy efficiency
and develop a power
Secure & Reliable Fully Integrated
sector based largely on Energy Supply Digital Solutions
renewable sources
Sustainability is one of our essential corporate values which reflects our responsibility towards people
and environment. We manage our economic, social, environmental and ethical codes towards innovative
transformer solutions, customer-focused approach, employment responsibility and environmental
protection. Therefore, we commit ourselves via 3 main pillars for a better world.
Global Compact is a call to companies to align strategies and operations
with universal principles on human rights, labour, environment and
anti-corruption, and take actions that advance societal goals. In 2019,
we have signed the United Nations Global Compact which is shaping
our vision for the future with its ten principles regarding human rights,
working conditions, environment and fight against corruption.
Eco-Friendly Manufacturing
We seek to minimize our environmental footprint by applying
environmental management systems. In order to support global climate
change and attain low emmission rates, we apply recycling at factory,
we use energy efficieny solutions to lower the electricity consumption
and we develop innovative products to reduce environmental impacts
of the grid.
Corporate Social Responsibility
We support Türk Eğitim Vakfı projects to ensure equal educational
opportunities for students with limited financial capacity. Turkish
Education Foundation (Türk Eğitim Vakfı, TEV), a non-governmental
organization run for the benefit of the public, founded with the aim of
ensuring that successful but financially disadvantaged young people
have access to an education.
