PITTSBURGH … Power management company Eaton announced today major infrastructure investments to increase the supply of its residential and commercial electrical solutions across North America. Eaton is expanding manufacturing capacity, modernizing production and adding a new plant, in addition to a new distribution center. Other facility expansions and modernizations are taking place through 2022.
“Our customers and teams have experienced significant challenges in the last year, which have given us the opportunity to evaluate our approach and make significant improvements to increase manufacturing flexibility, diversity and redundancy,” said Mike Yelton, president of Eaton’s Commercial and Residential Distribution Solutions Division. “These investments focus on our customers and employees while bolstering our regional manufacturing and distribution capabilities for essential infrastructure powering homes and businesses.”
Eaton’s manufacturing and supply chain investments specifically target surging demand for the company’s intelligent solutions including circuit breakers, load centers, switchboards, residential solutions and more. Eaton has rapidly scaled up production capacity in its newest facility in El Paso, Texas, and will soon do the same in Greenwood, South Carolina, while investing in its existing manufacturing plants in Sumter, South Carolina; Lincoln, Illinois; Cleveland, Tennessee; and four major facilities in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Eaton also opened a new distribution center in Dallas earlier this year to optimize service levels for customers across the country.
An additional manufacturing plant is planned that will provide incremental and geographically diverse manufacturing capacity for Eaton’s high-volume miniature circuit breakers. The new facility will include on-site molding and stamping to provide vertically integrated production.
“Our distributors and customers have needed even more of our technologies during this difficult time. These investments will diversify our production and supply chain, enabling us to provide industry-leading lead times and deliver the solutions our customers need to build the infrastructure of tomorrow – even in extraordinary times,” added Yelton.
Eaton’s electrical business is a global leader with deep regional application expertise in power distribution and circuit protection; power quality, backup power and energy storage; control and automation; life safety and security; structural solutions; and harsh and hazardous environment solutions. Through end-to-end services, channel and an integrated digital platform and insights, Eaton is powering what matters across industries and around the world, helping customers solve their most critical electrical power management challenges.
Eaton’s mission is to improve the quality of life and the environment through the use of power management technologies and services. We provide sustainable solutions that help our customers effectively manage electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical power – more safely, more efficiently, and more reliably. Eaton’s 2019 revenues were $21.4 billion, and we sell products to customers in more than 175 countries. We have approximately 92,000 employees.
