nVent has signed a lease for a new 400,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in Goodyear, Arizona. The site is expected to begin producing engineered buildings and electrical houses by mid-2027.
Why it matters
This expansion aims to satisfy rising customer demand across the infrastructure, data center, and power utility sectors. The facility will be a key component in the company's broader efforts to bolster its North American production capacity.
The new Goodyear site covers 400,000 square feet and is projected to employ more than 200 people. This follows the company's August 2026 ground-breaking on a separate 58,000-square-foot facility expansion in Southeastern Kansas.
