Power Partners Encourages Strategic Alliances with Customers
Alliance with the Southern Company Demonstrates the Benefits
9/13/2003
Power Partners encourages customers to form strategic alliances with our company. Through such relationships, Power Partners can better understand customers' requirements and work to reduce the overall life cycle cost of overhead distribution transformers, with shared savings.
One of the Athens operations longest running strategic alliances is with the Southern Company, a super-regional energy company with more than 35,000 megawatts of electric generation capacity in the Southeast. Through its five operating companies, the Southern Company supplies energy to a 120,000 square mile service territory spanning most of Georgia and Alabama, southeastern Mississippi and the Florida Panhandle.
In a recent alliance meeting in Athens, alliance team members from the Southern Company and Power Partners exchanged information about goals and expectations, business strategy, new operational initiatives and recent progress. In a plant tour, Power Partners demonstrated changes that have taken place at the factory since the previous meeting of the group. The meeting not only demonstrated Power Partners' commitment to the Southern Company's requirements for fast, on-time delivery of high quality, high reliability overhead transformers, but will also help Power Partners assist this valued customer.
Utilities who would like to learn more about the benefits of a strategic alliance with Power Partners are encouraged to call Tom Lopp, vice president of Marketing, at 706/548-3121, x401.
