Eaton’s manufacturing and supply chain investments specifically target surging demand for the company’s intelligent solutions — circuit breakers, load centers, switchboards, residential solutions and more.

Eaton's production capacity is supported by manufacturing plants in Sumter, South Carolina; Lincoln, Illinois; Cleveland, Tennessee; and four major facilities in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.

Eaton recently invested in new facilities in El Paso, Texas and Greenwood, South Carolina.

Eaton's Cleveland produces low to medium voltage electrical disconnects for commercial and industrial applications.

The plant sits on approximately 26 acres, with a total of 140,000 square feet of production area under roof.

The site specializes in sheet metal stamping, welding, painting, and assembly to produce items that are used mainly downstream in power distribution infrastructure.

Some examples of the type of switches that Eaton manufactures are general duty AC units, heavy duty AC units, double throw safety switches, circuit breaker enclosures, elevator control switches, pringle bolted contact switches, and double door heavy duty safety switches.  

The Cleveland, TN plant in 2024 became Eaton's first fully digital factory in North America!

The transformation boosted productivity by up to 26% through Industry 4.0 initiatives. The Cleveland team maintained full production while implementing advanced technologies. 

The Eaton tour was arranged by our friends of the Chattanooga Engineers Club.
