Spire Power Solutions LP, a portfolio company of Mill Point Capital LLC, has acquired the assets of V&F Transformer Corp., a third-generation family owned business based in Elgin, Illinois with nearly 60 years of operating history.

V&F Transformer is a manufacturer of custom dry-type transformers and magnetic components for electrical power management and power distribution equipment in end markets including data centers, electric vehicle/battery, and industrial automation.

Antony Besso, Spire executive chairman and an executive partner at Mill Point, commented, “The acquisition of V&F is highly complementary to Spire’s current dry-type transformer offering as it increases our overall market presence in specialty, custom magnetic offerings for high growth end markets including data centers and electric vehicle applications. We are thrilled that V&F and its leadership team are joining the Mill Point family of companies.”

Justin Smith, chief executive officer of Spire, added, “Dean Foderaro Sr., Chairman of V&F and Dean (Dino) Foderaro Jr., President of V&F, have built an incredible business focused on growth with an engineering first approach and a culture of operational excellence. By combining V&F with the existing Spire platform, we continue to add to our suite of products and execute our overall growth strategy. I am looking forward to having Dino join the Spire leadership team as President of the newly combined Spire dry-type transformer business unit that will include V&F Transformer as well as Jefferson Electric.”

Dino Foderaro, president of V&F, commented, “On behalf of V&F Transformer we are excited to join the Spire team and I am eager to lead the combined Spire dry-type transformer business unit. There is tremendous growth opportunity and ability to leverage our newly combined business to create the best in class dry-type transformer solutions provider.”
