Tbea is the first Chinese major equipment manufacturer to be awarded "Chinese famous brand" and "Chinese famous brand products", etc. The national engineering laboratory, the only one in China's electrical industry, as well as the national science & technology innovation center were approved to be set up at tbea.

China's first 50 KVA transformer was made by shenyang transformer works 70 years ago. Since the founding of the people's republic of China, tbea shenyang had undertaken a series of transformer research and development tasks and created many firsts both in China and abroad. Here are some example: China's first 110kv, 220kv, 330kv, 500kv, ± 220kv DC, ± 500kv DC, 1000kv, ± 600kv and ± 800kv hvdc transformers are all developed by tbea shenyang. With the solid support from Chinese government, tbea shenyang has made significant progress. Now, the company has been leading the world transformer technical development trend through its advanced ehv and DC power transmission technologies.

The developer of Chinese transformer industry standard & technology. Tbea shenyang transformer group Co., Ltd has always been the developer of the Chinese transformer industry standards, as well as the birthplace of transformer technology and talents in China. It has largely promoted transformer professional cultivation and technological progress by means of technical information collection and transformer book publications etc. For example, the calculation of power transformer, edited by shenyang transformer works, is still a good reference book for many Chinese transformer engineers. Transformer magazine, first published by stw in 1957 is still a good platform for Chinese transformer technical exchanges. Stw was also the birthplace for a series of transformer manufacturing equipment such as the vertical winding machine in China.
