Westinghouse Electric Sharon Transformer Plant – 1922-1985
The former Westinghouse Electric Sharon Transformer Plant (“The Westinghouse Sharon Site”) is a 58-acre facility located in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. During its operation from 1922 to 1985, Westinghouse manufactured electrical transformers at the site.
Between 1936 and 1976, Westinghouse used blends of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and trichlorobenzene in the manufacturing of some of the transformers.
