Eaton on Feb. 12 said it is investing $340 million to increase U.S. production of its three-phase transformers.
Production and hiring at Eaton’s new Jonesville, South Carolina facility is expected to begin in 2027. Eaton said it will convert an existing facility in Jonesville into a state-of-the-art manufacturing site for three-phase transformers.
The project is supported by local, state and federal economic development incentives, it said.
The company is also working closely with readySC and regional schools to support hiring and industry training.
Eaton will continue to manufacture three-phase transformers in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The company will also continue to produce single-phase, pole-mount and pad-mount transformers in Nacogdoches, Texas.
