This strategic addition reinforces the company’s executive leadership and reflects its ambition to accelerate innovation and strengthen global competitiveness.

With headquarters in Shenzhen and a manufacturing base in Henan province, Traftor serves key industries such as data center UPS systems, power grid infrastructure, renewable energy, and automotive. The appointment of the new CTO marks a major step in aligning technology with business strategy to support these evolving markets.

French national with extensive international experience across North America, Europe, and Asia, Timothé Delaforge brings strong expertise in power electronics, magnetic components, and digital transformation. His global perspective and technical leadership will be instrumental in driving innovation that meets the performance, efficiency, and reliability demands of today’s high-growth sectors.

One of his key missions will be to lead the development of next-generation design software, incorporating artificial intelligence to optimize transformer and inductor design. This capability will be especially critical for applications such as data centers, where increasing power density and switching frequencies require more advanced, efficient, and compact magnetic components.

As CTO, he will oversee the company’s R&D and product engineering roadmap, IP and patents application, ensuring close integration between design, manufacturing, and customer needs. He will also play a strategic role on the Board of Directors, contributing to global technology partnerships and long-term planning.

“We are very pleased to welcome our new CTO,” said Jacki Li. “His vision and experience will help us deliver smarter, faster, and more reliable solutions for our global clients.”

Eaton best supplier award 2023

On August 28, 2024, Traftor received an Award from Eaton Corporation, as Best Supplier 2023. Among over 30000 suppliers, Traftor was one of the only 30 companies to receive this award. Furthermore, only 13 suppliers from the electrical industry were awarded, among them Traftor Technology.

Rogerio Branco, EVP & Chief Supply Chain Officer remitted the award to Hui Li, CEO, and Daniel Rivalin, Vice-President.

Traftor will further commit to serve Eaton and its other customers, worldwide leaders in their field, to provide best services and innovation to improve performances in magnetic passive components and to reduce carbon footprint.

Guillaume Pasquet will speak at PCIM Forum Exhibitor on Thursday 20, 12:40.

Title of the conference

Toroidal inductors from 20kVA to 500kVA: How to achieve higher performance and cost reduction combining optimized design and manufacturing capability.

In this conference, Mr Pasquet will review all aspects and necessary approach to optimize the design of inductors with toroidal technology.

One of the question he will answer is: “What can expect design and purchasing teams by using innovative winding design and manufacturing solutions in inductors of toroidal typology in applications such as UPS, HEV, Solar and other industries?”

Accolade strengthens pioneering engineering firm’s growing reputation as one of the world’s leading developers of toroidal magnetic inductors and transformers

Shenzhen, China (PRWEB UK) 16 March 2015Power conversion specialist Traftor Technology Ltd has received a prestigious Chinese business award for innovation and entrepreneurship in recognition of the development of its ground-breaking toroidal technology.

Traftor claimed equal second prize in the ‘New energy and energy saving’ category in the Shenzen regional heat of the China Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition. It was also the only company from the engineering sector to be ranked in the top 10 places.

Traftor manufactures a range of toroidal inductors, chokes and transformers for the power electronics industry, particularly for high-frequency systems and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications, and more recently for electric trains and hybrid electric vehicles. Its unique technology can deliver cost reductions of up to 20%.

CEO Jacki Li said: “This a tremendous achievement for Traftor because we were competing against more than 2,700 companies from all over Shenzen, which is China’s answer to Silicon Valley.

“It is remarkable for an engineering company like ours to succeed in a competition where the top prizes are nearly always awarded to hi-tech start-ups from the IT, telecoms and biotech industries.

“Winning this award is official recognition of the technical breakthroughs we have made in magnetic topology, a field that has not seen much real progress in 70 years – until now.

“We are a relatively young company but have succeeded in recruiting highly talented people from Europe and Asia to build an expert international team that is a continuous force of innovation.”

Traftor’s technology is based around a toroidal-shaped magnetic core that uses far fewer coil layers than E, EI or C magnetic cores, and also does not have a yoke, creating more room for the winding coil area (LIMB).

This means Traftor is able to design and manufacture magnetic components for medium and high-power applications that are two to three times smaller and lighter than conventional systems, yet which offer higher efficiency, lower electromagnetic interference and reduced noise.

Traftor has perfected a winding process which makes it cost-effective to produce its designs – for example, toroidal chokes with 10 parallel 6mm diameter copper wires – on an industrial scale. No other manufacturer in the world is currently capable of doing this.

Mr Li added: “Our technology is revolutionary not only in terms of the competitive advantage and added value it offers, but also because it has been industrialized.

“This is why our products are being used by a growing number of customers in the power electronics industry, including major players such as Schneider Electric, Emerson and Eaton.”

Traftor’s award from the China Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition includes a cash prize of 400,000 yuan (€57,000) and a grant of 1 million yuan (€140,000) from the Chinese government to aid its expansion and research and development activities.
