It was nationalized under the name Transformatoren- und Röntgenwerk ( TuR ) Dresden after the second world war , and later acquired by Siemens AG in 1991 subsequent to German Reunification . In 1995 , the high-voltage testing division was hived off as HIGHVOLT Prüftechnik Dresden GmbH .
The company employs some 250 staff including 3 trainees . Roughly 60 per cent have a degree , and most are electrical engineers . Thirty per cent of staff are skilled workers or master craftsmen .
In 2008 / 2009 , to keep up with growing demand , HIGHVOLT already invested 7.5 million Euros in building three new production halls and an office building . In 2013 this was followed by a new 9 million-euro production hall containing another 1,900 m ² of space for assembly and pre-testing , plus a new drying oven with oil processing for transformer manufacturing . Further investment followed , for example in the staff car park and modernizations to the high-voltage testing hall .
