Eaton Expands Henrico County, Virginia, Manufacturing Operations

12/19/2025
Intelligent power management company Eaton plans to expand its operations in Henrico County, Virginia. The over $50 million project is expected to create 200 jobs.

The company’s new 350-square-foot manufacturing facility will increase production of advanced power management equipment.

“Eaton is continuing to invest in U.S. manufacturing and is thankful for the strong collaboration and support in Virginia. Our latest manufacturing expansion builds on our history in the region and reflects on the incredible abilities of our longtime local employees,” said Aidan Graham, senior vice president and general manager of Critical Power Solutions at Eaton. “We’re uniquely positioned to help our data center customers meet the rapidly increasing power requirements for AI factories through our expansive manufacturing footprint and our focus on innovation and engineering excellence.”

To support the project Governor Youngkin approved a performance-based grant of $1,000,000 from the Virginia Investment Performance Grant, an incentive that encourages continued capital investment by existing Virginia companies.

“Eaton’s expansion in Henrico is just another reason to celebrate this holiday season,”?noted Secretary of Commerce and?Trade Juan Pablo Segura. “Soon, 200 more employees will be?working hard?to meet our nation’s rising need for critical power equipment.?From Southwest Virginia to Hampton Roads and the Greater Richmond region, Virginia’s manufacturing sector is surging thanks to forward-looking companies like Eaton.”

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) worked with Henrico County to secure the project for Virginia.

“Eaton’s decision to expand in Henrico reinforces our reputation as a place where manufacturers truly succeed,” added Henrico Economic Development Authority Board of Directors Chair Edward S. Whitlock, III. “With this second major investment in the past five years, Eaton is doubling down on its commitment to our community, further strengthening our local workforce, and supporting technologies people rely on every day. We wish them continued success as they grow and create new opportunities here in Henrico.”
