Pacific Transformer Acquires Renown High-End Audio Transformer Manufacturer

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 expand Pacific Transformer's market position and demonstrates commitment to the premium audio sector.

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. Pacific Transformer and TDS hold themselves to an extremely high standard when it comes to quality and customer service...we felt Pacific Transformer was the only company that would uphold the standards and principles my father put into place. —Bill Wood Jr., President of Transformer Design and Supply

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. 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. —Justin Richardson, CFO of Pacific Transformer

Pacific Transformer anticipates continued growth following strong industry response at the Summer NAMM tradeshow and the TDS acquisition.
