CLEVELAND, OH – Intelligent power management company Eaton announced the
investment of an additional $150 million to increase the supply of its electrical power
distribution solutions for customers across North America. As part this investment, Eaton is
committing $80 million to significantly expand its manufacturing footprint in El Paso,
Texas—creating more than 600 new skilled manufacturing jobs, opening a new facility and
increasing capacity at its existing manufacturing plant.
These latest Eaton investments in North American manufacturing are in addition to the
company’s recently announced $500 million to support electrification, energy transition and
digitalization across industries.
“Eaton solutions are at the heart of electrical systems everywhere and are vital to
accelerate complex infrastructure projects for buildings, healthcare facilities, data centers,
industrial facilities and utilities,” said Mike Yelton, president, Americas Region, Electrical Sector
at Eaton. “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.”
The new regional expansion will enable Eaton to increase production of its circuit
breakers, switchboards, panelboards and other assemblies that enable power distribution for
critical infrastructure across industries. In addition to El Paso investments, the company will
expand capacity at its existing facilities in Beaver, Pennsylvania; Juarez, Mexico; Arecibo,
Puerto Rico; and Haina, Dominican Republic.
Founded in 1911, Eaton is marking its 100th anniversary of being listed on the New York
Stock Exchange. For more information, visit Eaton.com.
