Eaton announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire 50 per cent stake in Jiangsu YiNeng Electric’s busway business, which manufactures and markets busway products in China.
This acquisition will add busway to Eaton’s power distribution portfolio in the Asia Pacific region.
“We are pleased to form this strategic relationship with YiNeng,” said Howard Liu, president, Asia-Pacific Region, Electrical Sector and Corporate China, Eaton. “YiNeng’s strong presence in China combined with Eaton’s broad product portfolio and access to Southeast Asia positions us well in the high-growth busway product category and strengthens our offerings to customers in the region.”
The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021. After the transaction closes, the company will do business as Eaton Busway Jiangsu.
