Intelligent power management company Eaton has completed a $100-million expansion of its manufacturing facility in Nacogdoches, Texas, more than doubling the company’s ability to make key electrical equipment.
While the project strengthens Eaton’s national manufacturing footprint, the company’s ties to the Pittsburgh region continue to play a central role in advancing energy innovation.
Eaton’s electrical sector headquarters is based in Moon Township, Pa., with an innovation center in Warrendale, Pa. The Eaton Power System Experience Center in Pittsburgh also serves as a full-scale demonstration and testing facility, allowing utilities and engineers to explore real-world applications of electrical power management technologies.
To mark the milestone in Texas, Eaton welcomed representatives from Oncor, the state’s largest energy delivery company, which will receive the first shipment of voltage regulators from Eaton’s new production lines.
“Having worked with Oncor for decades as both a valued customer and trusted collaborator, our organization is extremely grateful for their support,” said Guillaume Laur, Eaton senior vice president of power delivery and regulation. “It is an honor to see our grid modernization solutions immediately being put to work in our community — and soon around the world — to help advance energy resilience, reliability and security.”
The expansion project, launched in 2023, added 200,000-square-feet to the Nacogdoches facility and solidifies Eaton’s position as one of the world’s largest suppliers of voltage regulators and capacitors.
The project also significantly boosts U.S.-based manufacturing capabilities to better serve domestic and international customers, according to Eaton, which since 2023 has invested more than $1 billion in North American manufacturing to accelerate electrification, energy transition, and digitalization across industries.
Founded in 1911, Eaton serves customers in more than 160 countries and reported 2024 revenues of almost $25 billion.
