Eaton's Stock Surges Amid Grand Opening of Cutting-Edge Transformer Plant in Jiangsu

Eaton, a global leader in power management, recently celebrated a significant milestone with the grand opening of its new transformer manufacturing center in Hai'an, Jiangsu, on April 19, 2025. This state-of-the-art facility integrates smart manufacturing and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, designed to drive innovation and support the global energy transition towards smart electrification.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by prominent figures including Liu Hui, President of Eaton's Asia Pacific Electrical Group and President of Eaton China; Wu Xun, Vice President and General Manager of the Asia Pacific Distribution Systems and Services Division; and other senior executives. Local government officials, including Tan Zhen, Secretary of Hai'an Municipal Party Committee, recognized the facility's cutting-edge technology and its potential to contribute significantly to the region's economy and industrial progress.

Wu Xun expressed confidence in the rapid development of the transformer industry driven by trends in electrification, digitalization, and energy transition. The launch of the new plant enhances Eaton's product footprint in the Asia-Pacific region and represents a collaborative effort with Ryan Electric to produce transformers that meet international standards, thereby ensuring global electrical safety.

Wang Liangming, Chairman of Eaton Transformers (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd, emphasized the strategic importance of the new facility. As a hub of smart manufacturing, IoT, and digital innovation, it aims to be a beacon of high-quality development across the industry. By leveraging both independent innovation and global collaboration, Eaton plans to strengthen its presence in domestic and strategic markets across the world.

With a sprawling 68,000 square meters of production space, the facility is Eaton Electrical's largest transformer manufacturing and R&D center in the Asia-Pacific region. It integrates advanced manufacturing systems and intelligent warehousing to optimize efficiency and quality, emphasizing automation, smart technology, and digital processes.

Eaton Transformers (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd specializes in transformer technology, offering a comprehensive product line that includes more than 20 series of solutions, catering to international standards like IEC and UL. Its products are employed in a variety of high-profile projects across the globe, marking its strong presence in the power transmission, renewable energy, and data center sectors.

Continuing its commitment to innovation and sustainability, Eaton aims to deliver superior and efficient electrical solutions worldwide, driving the shared goal of energy transition.

Furthermore, Eaton recently unveiled the dual-trigger pyro fuse for electric vehicles (EVs), which marks a pivotal advancement in EV safety. This technology, likened to an airbag for electrical systems, enhances circuit protection and system reliability with a dual-trigger mechanism, setting new safety benchmarks in the industry.
