TT Electronics' Loveland, Colorado facility, is located near north of Denver and just an hour from the airport. The area is home to a number of large corporations and well respected universities. The equipment in Colorado can wind both copper and aluminium, and can handle wire as small as 40 AWG and up to three million circular mils of foil. We have produced single phase transformers and inductors ranging from 50VA to 50KW and three phase transformers from 50VA to 100KVA. And we can produce line reactors of four megawatts and more. It is a high mix, low-to-mid volume facility, which means we have the ability to quickly convert lines to handle different, sometimes complex orders. Here in Colorado we work hard and play hard, and we're well located to be able to take advantage of all Colorado has to offer year round.
