History
SMIT transformers are installed all over the world. In 1913, Messrs Rosskopf,
Bergsma and Smit established ‘N.V. Willem Smit & Co’s Transformatorenfabriek’
on Groenestraat in Nijmegen. The company started with 38 employees, and it
grew steadily through the years. Other forward integrated businesses associated
with N.V. Willem Smit and Smit Transformers and the transformer industry, such
as Smit Draad, Smit Ovens and Lincoln Smitweld, were also established. All of
these companies still operate wholly independently. In 2000, SMIT became part
of the SGB-SMIT Group. In 2009, the service, maintenance and repair activities
traditionally associated with the Smit Transformers product range relocated to the
harbour with an exclusive quay situated on Energieweg in Nijmegen.
