BUFFALO, N.Y., May 08, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intelligent power management company Eaton today announced the expansion of its Orchard Park, N.Y., facility to support growing demand for the aerospace mission systems solutions manufactured at the site. The $18.5 million investment will significantly increase production capacity to serve growing demand by military defense, commercial aerospace and space customers and add 77 skilled manufacturing jobs to the community.

"I am very pleased by the news of Eaton’s monumental expansion in Orchard Park," said Rep. Langworthy, R-N.Y. "With growing demand for defense technology used by the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy, Eaton’s expansion will not only massively increase production capacity, but it will also create crucial jobs for the region. Congratulations to Eaton, and I look forward to supporting your mission on a federal level in any way that I can."

Eaton is adding 50,000 square feet of floor space to its main Orchard Park facility to increase manufacturing capacity and enhance production efficiency by consolidating shipping, receiving, warehouse and stocking operations under the same roof.
