By Power-management company Eaton is positioning itself as a leader in electrification and digitalization efforts across multiple industries by investing more than $500 million in manufacturing operations across North America.
Expansion Plans
One of the key projects in these expansion plans is the doubling of the size of Eaton’s plant in Nacogdoches, Texas. This strategic move will not only increase the production capacity of Eaton’s voltage regulators but also help utility customers accelerate grid modernization.

Another significant investment will take place at Eaton’s plant in Waukesha, Wis., where new equipment will be installed to enhance the manufacturing of three-phase transformers. Additionally, in South Carolina, Eaton plans to expand its manufacturing capabilities for busway products and EV-charging technology.
