Eaton, an intelligent power management company, will invest more than $50 million to expand its existing manufacturing footprint in Henrico County, company and government officials announced Dec. 10. Upon completion, the project is expected to create 200 new jobs. The company selected Henrico after assessing multiple locations nationwide, according to officials. Eaton will open a new campus in Henrico, more than doubling its regional footprint, to increase manufacturing of advanced power management equipment. The company will occupy a yet-to-be-built 350,000-square-foot facility to house the 200 new employees, bringing its local team to nearly 500 people. The expansion will support production of static transfer switches, power distribution units, and remote power panels — technologies that provide reliable, uninterrupted power.
