Ergon recognizes the impact dielectric fluids can have on energy security in global power grids. We are excited to announce a significant milestone designed to assist in bridging the gap for network deployment and ensuring consistent quality dielectric fluids for evolving energy demands — the opening of Ergon’s first Transformer Oil Technology Center in Asia. Juan Acosta, Vice President of Sales – Asia, shared this new facility will be in Merak, Indonesia, within the Dover Chemical terminal complex.

"The opening of this center is an investment in research, development and technical service for premium dielectric fluids in the Asia region,” said Acosta. “How we respond to the acceleration of energy needs will play an important role in our ability to continue to partner with customers to ensure reliability, innovation and performance in the evolving transformer oil landscape."

As energy consumption continues to rise, the demand for reliable power grids has increased to ensure the smooth operation of power systems. Transformers play a crucial role in this process by helping to transport electricity generated from power plants across grids to homes and businesses worldwide. To maintain peak performance and prevent overheating during energy transmission, these transformers rely on the soul of the operation — transformer oils. These oils, also known as insulating oils or dielectric fluids, enhance transformer performance and promote reliable energy distribution long-term.

Ergon has grown to become a leading supplier of dielectric fluids thanks to our commitment to consistent quality and a secure supply of products such as our HyVolt Dielectric Fluids. HyVolt products are designed to meet insulation and cooling needs in electrical equipment applications for power and distribution transformers, switchgears, circuit breakers and more. The opening of the Transformer Oil Technology Center signifies the next step in our efforts to be the world’s preferred partner for innovative and specialized solutions to support the transformer oil industry.
