Eaton to Boost U.S. Power Capacity With $242M Arkansas Plant

Eaton Corporation plans to invest over $242 million in a new one-million-square-foot manufacturing facility in North Little Rock, Arkansas to double U.S. Fibrebond capacity and create 1,200 jobs. The expansion supports strong demand in critical-power infrastructure, with Electrical Americas reporting 18% organic sales growth, 41% order growth, and 33% backlog growth in Q2 2026. The facility will help address capacity constraints and deepen exposure to AI infrastructure and grid modernization.
