Eaton Canada Investing $15 Million to Power Canada’s Electrified Future

December 2, 2024

Eaton Canada is investing approximately $15 million to expand it’s manufacturing capacity to meet growing demand for its electrical solutions driven by the ongoing electrification of Canada’s economy.

These investments will expand the company’s low-voltage manufacturing footprint by 20%, increasing its ability to produce the switchboards, switchgear and panelboards needed to support Canada’s electrified future. With a particular focus on the electrification of the country’s transport infrastructure, building systems and industrial processes, Eaton Canada aims to complete the first phase of the project by Q3 2025, creating new manufacturing and engineering jobs in Ontario.

To deliver on these outcomes, Eaton Canada is modernizing its steel and copper fabrication equipment and further automating its core processes. In addition to expanding production capacity, this project will result in improved operational efficiency and enhanced employee safety. Through this investment, the company is also enabling decarbonization by paving the way for increased adoption of solutions ranging from electric vehicles and smart appliances to microgrids and renewable energy.

“Reliable and efficient power distribution is critical to support the electrification of our country’s industrial, transport and infrastructure projects,” Fluit added. “By investing now in response to evolving market trends, we are equipping our customers with the advanced technologies and digital intelligence they need to embrace electrification, while enhancing efficiency and reducing costs.”

Building on its existing national footprint and regional reach, this $15 million investment further reinforces Eaton Canada’s longstanding commitment to the Canadian market. Like all of Eaton Canada’s equipment, these solutions will feature Canadian custom configurations tailored to meet stringent quality standards and designed to help customers across industries bring their electrification ideas to life.
