Intelligent power management company Eaton plans to establish operations in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The more than $242 million project is expected to create 1,200 jobs.

The investment will include the construction of a new one-million-square-foot manufacturing facility that will produce customized electrical enclosures for the company’s Fibrebond business.

“Customers are looking for ways to deploy critical power infrastructure faster, with greater certainty and less complexity,” said Eaton Electrical Sector, Americas President Mike Yelton. “This investment expands our ability to deliver custom modular electrical enclosures while strengthening our U.S. manufacturing capacity and skilled workforce. Building on the strong foundation we've established in Minden, Louisiana, this investment enables us to better support customers with the speed, scale and expertise they need to meet growing demand.”
