Eaton Expands Operations in Nebraska with New Manufacturing Facility to Meet Increasing Switchgear Demand Driven by AI Data Center BoomApril 8, 2026 8:33 AM
Business Wire

New 370,000-sq-ft facility in greater Omaha area expected to begin production in 2027



Addresses surging demand from nearly 3,000 planned U.S. data centers to support modular, scalable power systems and accelerate speed to power



Expected to create over 200 engineering, manufacturing and production jobs



Intelligent power management company Eaton today announced an investment of over $30 million to increase U.S. production of its medium-voltage switchgear, the equipment used to protect, control and isolate electrical equipment in data center, utility and industrial power generation and distribution systems.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260408952863/en/Eaton to open a new manufacturing facility in Nebraska, boosting production of switchgear, critical infrastructure for data centers, utilities and industrials.
With nearly 3,000 new data centers planned or under construction in the U.S., industrial and utility companies will face electrical power supply chain constraints. The U.S. switchgear market is projected to grow from $17.8 billion in 2024 to $31.8 billion by 2034.


To meet this demand, Eaton will open a new manufacturing facility near Omaha, Nebraska in Bellevue. The new facility will be designed and optimized to support high volume of switchgear structures at the quality and speed that AI data centers customers require. The engineered-to-order switchgear produced in the new facility can be integrated into Eaton’s prefabricated power systems, which are designed to offer customers flexibility, modularity and intelligence.


Production of air-insulated switchgear and gas-insulated switchgear at Eaton’s new 370,000-square-foot facility is expected to begin in the first half of 2027. Hiring for more than the anticipated 200 additional engineering, manufacturing and production roles is expected to begin later this year.


“Eaton is making bold investments to drive growth—expanding our U.S. manufacturing footprint, adding jobs and helping customers accelerate projects,” said Mike Yelton, president, Electrical Sector at Eaton. “We’ve reimagined how data centers are built and are providing a blueprint for rapid, repeatable deployment. As we continue to invest in U.S. manufacturing, we’re grateful for the strong support from the state of Nebraska and the city of Bellevue. Our newest manufacturing investment builds on the incredible abilities of our long-term employees in the region.”


Eaton’s fully integrated grid-to-chip portfolio is helping meet the accelerating needs of data center, industrial and utility customers with repeatable, modular and scalable systems that can be deployed globally. The medium-voltage switchgear manufactured in Omaha will help customers deliver clean, safe and resilient energy from the grid and onsite energy sources.


“Eaton’s major expansion in Nebraska is evidence of the competitive advantages we offer to manufacturers,” said Governor Jim Pillen. “With unmatched affordability, a growing workforce, and business-like approach to governance, we’re making sure The Good Life is open for business. Eaton’s investment to boost production of electrical equipment in Nebraska will create great careers, while helping power the state’s energy industry.”


“Eaton’s investment in Bellevue marks a fantastic milestone for our community. We have made job creation the cornerstone of my administration, and we’re thrilled to partner with Eaton on this exciting new adventure by bringing hundreds of jobs to Bellevue. We look forward to a fruitful partnership for decades to come,” said Bellevue Mayor Rusty Hike.


In Omaha, Eaton will expand its local manufacturing capacity by moving to a new facility six miles from its current site. Existing Eaton employees will transition to the new location over time.


Eaton’s investments in its global manufacturing capacity have totaled more than $1.5 billion since 2023.

EATON CORPORATION plc

NOTES TO THE FOURTH QUARTER 2025 EARNINGS RELEASE


Amounts are in millions of dollars unless indicated otherwise (per share data assume dilution). Columns and rows may not add and the sum of components may not equal total amounts reported due to rounding.


Note 1. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION


This earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These financial measures include adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per ordinary share, and free cash flow, each of which differs from the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of each of these financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in this earnings release. Management believes that these financial measures are useful to investors because they provide additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our business performance and trends, and they allow investors to more easily compare Eaton Corporation plc's (Eaton or the Company) financial performance period to period. Management uses this information in monitoring and evaluating the on-going performance of Eaton and each business segment.

As part of the acquisition, Eaton assumed $240 million of employee transaction and retention awards. Awards vest in six equal annual installments starting in the second quarter of 2025, subject to continued employment with Eaton. Forfeited employee awards are paid to former Fibrebond shareholders annually. Eaton recognizes compensation expense for the awards over the requisite service period and any employee forfeitures owed to former Fibrebond shareholders are expensed immediately in Other expense (income) - net. During the fourth quarter of 2025, compensation expense of $8 million, $2 million and $8 million were included in Costs of products sold, Selling and administrative expense, and Other expense (income) - net, respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Resilient was acquired for $86 million, including $55 million of cash paid at closing and an initial estimate of $31 million for the fair value of contingent future consideration based on 2025 through 2028 revenue performance and achievement of technology-based milestones. The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities is estimated by discounting contingent payments expected to be made, and may increase or decrease based on changes in milestone achievements and discount rates, with a maximum possible undiscounted value of $45 million. Resilient is reported within the Electrical Americas business segment.


As part of the acquisition, Eaton assumed employee incentives with a maximum payout of $50 million contingent upon achievement of the same revenue performance and technology-based milestones, as well as continued employment with Eaton. The incentives will be paid over three years, starting in 2026 and concluding in 2028. As of December 31, 2025, the Company expects to pay $38 million of employee incentives based on the estimated probability of the milestones being achieved. Compensation expense will be recognized over the requisite service period.
