Eaton Milton Facility Grand Opening

March 5, 2026

Last month, Eaton celebrated the grand opening of their new Milton facility, joined by customers, industry partners, senior executives and team members.

“This expansion doubles our capacity to grow with our customers, strengthens local manufacturing, and enables us to continue delivering innovative power management solutions across Canada,” said Shelly Vaz, Business Unit Manager, Eaton via LinkedIn.

“I’m incredibly proud of the teams who brought this vision to life — and energized by what this means for our future. Here’s a few moments from our celebration!”

“The rapid electrification of our economy is driving strong demand for power distribution technologies,” said Chris Fluit, senior vice president and general manager at Eaton Canada, said in 2024 when Eaton announced investments in their Ontario Manufacturing. “In response, we’re scaling up production of the technologies needed to deliver safe and reliable power for critical applications.”

Eaton is expanding production capacity and company investments will enable more flexible, efficient and resilient manufacturing. 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 investment further reinforces Eaton’s longstanding commitment to the Canadian market. Eaton solutions made in Canada are designed to Canadian standards, including custom configurations, and made to help customers across industries meet their energy resilience, affordability and sustainability goals.

Since 2023, Eaton has invested nearly $750 million in North American manufacturing for electrical solutions. The company is already increasing supplies of power distribution solutions including transformers and voltage regulators; as well as electrical assemblies: switchgear, switchboards and circuit breakers; and solutions supporting electric grid infrastructure projects.
