Attention to detail.

Timely delivery.

Customer Service.

Some things never change.

In 1963, the electrical market underwent a groundbreaking shift. Utilities were now looking for large capacity kVA distribution class transformers—heavy-duty machinery for unique underground use, rather than traditional overhead infrastructure.

Al Bolin saw this need and, along with a handful of colleagues, founded VanTran in Vandalia, IL to provide high-quality unique solutions. This standard, of course, was paired with exceptional customer service. Since its founding, VanTran prides itself on a family-first customer mentality when delivering unique solutions on time, holding the highest quality standards.

Don Bolin, current CEO/Owner, took over the business after his father’s passing. Don has taken on his father’s torch and is leading VanTran towards even more innovation and success.
