Eaton announced has signed an agreement to acquire a 50% stake in Jiangsu YiNeng Electric’s busway business.

“We are pleased to form this strategic relationship with YiNeng,” said Eaton Asia-Pacific Region, Electrical Sector and Corporate China president, Howard Liu.

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 undertake business as Eaton Busway Jiangsu.
