Himag Planar – Decades of Innovation in Planar Transformer Technology
Himag Planar brings over two decades of dedicated expertise in planar transformer technology, supported by a strong heritage in inverter design and advanced PCB engineering. As a global developer, designer, and manufacturer of planar magnetic solutions, we have produced millions of planar transformers, including a wide range of highly customised designs tailored to specific electrical, thermal, and mechanical requirements. Our experience spans multiple high-performance industries where efficiency, reliability, and power density are critical.
From the earliest stages of concept development through to full-scale production, we combine deep magnetic design knowledge with practical manufacturing insight. Our background in inverter technology and PCB layout enables us to optimise transformer performance within complex power electronics systems, ensuring minimal losses, controlled leakage inductance, excellent thermal management, and consistent repeatability at high switching frequencies.
As part of a larger international group, Himag Planar operates on a truly global scale. We maintain manufacturing and engineering design facilities in Israel, the United States, Asia, and the United Kingdom. This global footprint allows us to provide responsive technical collaboration, regional customer support, and scalable production solutions. Whether delivering rapid prototypes for development programmes or managing high-volume offshore manufacturing, we ensure efficiency, quality, and reliability at every stage.
Our UK operations reflect our long-term commitment to growth and excellence. In October 2011, we expanded significantly, relocating to a purpose-built facility in Gloucester.This move enhanced both our commercial and production capabilities, providing a modern environment designed to support advanced engineering development and increased manufacturing capacity. The facility houses world-leading design engineers alongside dedicated production teams, fostering close collaboration between design and manufacturing functions.
Today, our Gloucester production facility is capable of fabricating thousands of planar transformers per month, with capacity continuing to grow in line with customer demand. As part of our long-term strategic vision, we acquired the building outright in 2015, reinforcing our commitment to stability, investment, and sustained expansion within the group structure.
Quality and continuous improvement underpin everything we do. Our processes are structured to meet the rigorous standards required by industries such as defence, aerospace, automotive, renewable energy, industrial automation, and advanced motorsport. We understand that planar transformers are mission-critical components within switch-mode power supplies, inverters, and high-frequency power conversion systems — and we design accordingly.
At Himag Planar, we pride ourselves on combining innovation with manufacturing discipline. Our global reach, decades of experience, and commitment to engineering excellence enable us to deliver magnetic solutions that power next-generation technologies worldwide.
