With a recent venture of $500 million to support electrification, energy transition and digitalization across industries, Eaton has invested an additional $150 million to increase the supply of its electrical power distribution solutions for customers across North America.
The company is investing $80 million to expand its manufacturing operations in El Paso, Texas to create more than 600 manufacturing jobs, open a new facility and increase capacity at its existing manufacturing plant.
“The latest investment in regional manufacturing reflects our commitment to respond rapidly to unprecedented customer demand and the tremendous abilities of our longtime employees and channel partners,” said Mike Yelton, president, Americas Region, Electrical Sector at Eaton.
The expansion plan will help Eaton increase production of its circuit breakers, switchboards, panelboards and other assemblies enabling power distribution for critical infrastructure across industries. Moreover, the company will also expand capacity at its existing facilities in Beaver, Pennsylvania; Juarez, Mexico; Arecibo, Puerto Rico and Haina, Dominican Republic.
