A true solutions provider, JFE Shoji Power Canada specializes in the manufacture, engineering and supply of metal cores to power distribution transformers and motors.

He begins by sharing JFE Shoji Power Canada\u2019s wider mission of driving greater electrical efficiency in Canada, as well as how the increased adoption of amorphous metal will assist in extending this mission to the United States.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cA couple of years ago, the Department of Energy in the US set a substantial increase in efficiency standards wherein they expect transformers installed in US utilities to have a much higher level of efficiency. The primary way of doing this is to increase the efficiency of the metals being used to carry the magnetic field inside the transformer; that\u2019s what\u2019s driving the potential for amorphous metal and better, grain-oriented electrical steel. It\u2019s something that we\u2019ve worked on very closely in the Canadian market for the last decade, and we\u2019re currently working closely and collaboratively with our OEM clients to proactively prepare for this transformation,\u201d Ron explains. \u201cDecarbonization is a big factor within our industry \u2013 the production of steel worldwide generates around ten-to-12 percent of all carbon emissions that are created by human activities \u2013 and so we\u2019re actively working with and prioritizing steel mills that are being proactive in making the necessary investments to decarbonize their production processes.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">JFE Shoji Power Canada has been producing innovative amorphous metal cores for its Canadian clients and OEMs for a long while. Amorphous metal offers a plethora of benefits; the main advantage being it is the most electrically efficient material that can be engineered into transformer cores. JFE Shoji Power Canada has worked in close collaboration with leading amorphous metal ribbon manufacturer, Metglas, for almost 20 years, and these amorphous metal cores have proven highly successful among its existing clients. As the material continues to grow its market share, Ron is keen to expand its use in the United States and widen its application to more distribution transformer codes in Canada.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cMetglas produces this very special alloy that\u2019s used in distribution transformers. It\u2019s a product that has had a large market share for many years, but only for those parts of the world that value high levels of electrical energy efficiency in their electrical grid. It\u2019s a very advantageous material because it allows electric transformers to be much more efficient,\u201d Ron elaborates. \u201cWe\u2019ve been working closely with Metglas since 2008, and we have a very strong relationship. Our work, together with our Canadian distribution transformer clients, has grown the material\u2019s market share to around 50-to-60 percent, and we\u2019re now working closely with our OEM clients across North America to develop and expand this market. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to reach the same level of market share as in Canada, but it will be targeting around 30 percent from the less than five percent it is today, so it\u2019s a big opportunity to provide an electrically efficient solution for US utilities and we\u2019re very optimistic about its success.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Of course, the economic landscape has changed significantly since 2008. The US market is particularly tumultuous at present given the current tariff situation, with the metal industry \u2013 especially the steel sector \u2013 being one of the hardest hit. This is another advantage of amorphous metal produced by Metglas in South Carolina. Since it is a raw material produced in the US, it moves back and forth within the USMCA tariff-free.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe new tariffs have certainly caused a disruption, largely because there\u2019s a lot of uncertainty about when they\u2019re going to conclude,\u201d Ron says. \u201cAll of the electrical steel product that we\u2019ve been supplying from our global sources have been tariffed since 2018, however those tariffs were moved from 25 percent to 50 percent over the last few weeks when we import them into the USA as steel coils. This has created a lot of issues in some of our more recent sales as people are trying to run off inventories in the hopes that the tariffs get reduced back, but the sheer uncertainty of it doesn\u2019t allow you to plan or invest, and our industry requires a lot of investment. The US, for example, produces only half of the North American market\u2019s demand for electrical steel, so imports are necessary and required in many cases. Our fabricated core products are currently tariffed at a level lower than the steel, but this remains a highly dynamic situation.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Amidst the wave of economic uncertainty and call for climate action, the world is craving reliable, sustainable solutions now more than ever. However, in spite of the present challenges, the future looks bright for JFE Shoji Power Canada. Ron reveals what lies ahead in the company\u2019s future.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-55141\" src=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/JFE-239-body-image-2.jpg\" alt=\" large power transformer being moved or prepared for installation\" width=\"425\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/JFE-239-body-image-2.jpg 425w, https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/JFE-239-body-image-2-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe\u2019ve almost outgrown our existing facilities due to our growth and expansion over the last five years. We\u2019ll look to see what the Canada and US trade situation is in terms of tariffs and future investments, but I envision us growing significantly within the next three-to-five years, particularly within the automotive sector and material supply chain,\u201d he affirms. \u201cWe expect that the increased adoption of amorphous metal in the US will be a big part of our growth because we, along with Metglas, have a unique proposition that not many other companies have.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe\u2019d like to open additional facilities too; it\u2019s just a matter of understanding the new trend landscape between Canada and the US, as well as where the best location would be and what technology would be adopted.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Concluding our conversation, Ron takes a moment to reflect on JFE Shoji Power Canada\u2019s most important asset: its dedicated workforce.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cOne of the things that we work very hard on is creating a people-oriented culture \u2013 one that cares about people, their families and their sense of fulfilment in the company. Our people feel that they\u2019re not just contributing to our communities today, but to a better future for their children and grandchildren,\u201d Ron finishes. \u201cWe\u2019ve done a good job of helping them feel connected to the bigger mission, and we offer a high level of care and support for them and their families. There\u2019s plenty of people that maybe started on the production floor and have worked their way through the company into other roles, which can be rare in a large production manufacturing environment. We want our people to feel like they\u2019re part of a mission and a vision that\u2019s much bigger than them, and for them to see the positive impact they\u2019re having on our society.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jfeshojipower.com\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">jfeshojipower.com<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whilst others may be stuck in a sustainability slog, JFE Shoji Power Canada is accelerating the electrical energy revolution.
