USA, North Carolina, Eden: TSEA Energy has announced a $25 M investment in a new manufacturing facility in Eden, North Carolina, its first industrial site in the United States. The plant will produce single-phase step voltage regulators for the US market, with operations expected to begin ramping up in the fourth quarter of 2026.
The project is set to create about 160 jobs in Rockingham County across manufacturing, engineering, and administrative roles. By establishing local production, the company aims to improve product availability and reduce supply chain constraints for utilities.
The new facility will manufacture equipment rated up to 1100 A nominal current and 36.2 kV nominal voltage. It will also include advanced electronic controls, modern communication systems, and cybersecurity features designed for utility networks.
“This investment represents an important milestone in our international expansion and reinforces our long-term commitment to the US market,” said Beto Reynaldo, Chief Executive Officer of TSEA. “Establishing a local manufacturing presence allows us to better serve our customers’ needs while contributing to the modernization of the US grid.”
North Carolina Governor Josh Stein highlighted the significance of the project for the state’s economy and energy infrastructure.
“I am delighted to welcome TSEA Energy to North Carolina and Rockingham County,” said Governor Stein. “Our highly skilled workforce, business-friendly environment, and convenient East Coast location will help them modernize the electrical grid as utilities meet the growing energy demand in our state and our nation.”
The US distribution grid serves more than 150 million customers and faces growing pressure from rising electricity demand and ageing systems. At the same time, more electricity is being generated closer to where it is used, creating more complex, two-way power flows.
TSEA, headquartered in Brazil, has nearly 60 years of experience in energy infrastructure and currently supplies more than 40 utilities in the United States. The company expects the new facility to significantly expand its global manufacturing capacity and strengthen its role in supporting grid modernisation.
