Power management company Eaton announced a $340 million investment to increase U.S. production of its three-phase transformers. The project will convert an existing facility in Jonesville, South Carolina, into a manufacturing site, where the company expects to create 700 jobs and begin production in 2027.
“Electrical power demand is increasing dramatically, and our solutions are at the heart of energy systems everywhere, from the utility grid to industrials, data centers, buildings and more,” Eaton executive Mike Yelton said. “We’re grateful for the strong collaboration and support in South Carolina, where we have a long history of manufacturing and innovation."
