The new 200,000-square-foot expansion, which will generate 200 new jobs for the surrounding area, will also free up capacity at its largest Wisconsin manufacturing facility.

Eaton has broken ground on the expansion of its Nacogdoches, Texas manufacturing facility. The company will invest $100 million into the project, which will double production capacity of Eaton voltage regulators and three-phase transformers. The new 200,000-square-foot expansion, which will generate 200 new jobs for the surrounding area, will also free up capacity at its largest Wisconsin manufacturing facility. The company will invest an additional $22 million in equipment to increase manufacturing capacity of three-phase transformers at its Waukesha facility.

In a recent quote, Guillaume Laur, Eaton senior vice president – Power Delivery and Regulation, said, “Utilities across the U.S. are modernizing critical infrastructure to accelerate a smarter grid and clean energy future. Our solutions are vital to make these projects a reality, and we’re making steady investments to support our utility customers.”
