We are excited to announce the acquisition of famed high-end audio transformer manufacturer Transformer Design and Supply.
Founded by engineer William “Bill” Wood Sr. in 1970, Transformer Design and Supply, based in San Jacinto, CA, has built a long-standing reputation for building stellar high-end audio transformers that have attracted iconic guitar amplifier brands Matchless and Divided by 13.
“Your deliveries of transformers were like Christmas to me. I often think about Woody and how helpful, actually instrumental, he was to the success of our company.” -Rick Perrotta, Co-Founder of Matchless Amplifiers.
The acquisition will grow Pacific Transformer’s market share and signals the company’s commitment to the high-end audio market.
“What attracted us to partner with Pacific Transformer is that their vision, as well as the vision of my father who started the company more than 50 years ago, were in complete alignment,” said Bill Wood Jr., President of Transformer Design and Supply (TDS). “Pacific Transformer and TDS hold themself to an extremely high standard when it comes to quality and customer service. Although several other manufacturers approached us, we felt Pacific Transformer was the only company that would uphold the standards and principles my father put into place at TDS. We are thrilled to have reached an agreement with them and know our customers will continue receiving the same stellar support and outstanding sounding products TDS was known for.”
“Over the past year, we have invested heavily in the high-end audio market with the launch of our first direct-to-consumer brand, Pacific Audio Magnetics,” said Justin Richardson, CFO of Pacific Transformer. “Partnering with legends such as George Alessandro and our acquisition of TDS shows our level of commitment in building the best-sounding transformers on the market.”
With the overwhelming response at this year’s Summer North American Music Merchants (NAMM) tradeshow and the acquisition of TDS, Pacific Transformer looks forward to continuing to grow and build new long-term relationships in the high-end audio space.
