Power management manufacturer and supplier Eaton Corp. plc will invest $3.6 million to move production from California to its facility in Henrico County, Gov. Ralph Northam announced Friday.
The move will create 80 jobs through the expansion of the Henrico facility’s production capabilities and the addition of new lines for electrical component manufacturing. Eaton, an American Irish-domiciled company, provides sustainable solutions to help customers better manage electrical, hydraulic and mechanical power.
“Eaton’s decision to move production to Henrico County and expand its presence in our commonwealth demonstrates the strength of Central Virginia’s manufacturing workforce,” Northam said in a statement. “The company’s commitment to sustainable power solutions aligns perfectly with the Clean Energy Virginia initiative, and we look forward to partnering with Eaton as we work to accelerate our transition to renewable energy.”
