Eaton announced it will open a new manufacturing campus in Henrico County, Virginia, for critical power distribution technologies to help meet record demand from data center customers. With more than 50 new data centers already permitted in Virginia this year, Eaton is increasing regional manufacturing for technologies vital to data center equipment uptime and reliability. The company will more than double its footprint in Richmond, increase capacity and add capabilities for manufacturing static transfer switches, power distribution units and remote power panels.
Production at Eaton's new 350,000-square-foot Richmond area facility is expected to begin in 2027. Eaton's fully integrated grid-to-chip portfolio is helping meet the accelerating needs of data center customers with modular and scalable systems that can be deployed globally. The company's investment in Virginia will increase regional manufacturing for higher power gray space infrastructure for North American customers.
Eaton investments in North American manufacturing for its electrical solutions have reached more than $1.2 billion since 2023.
