Electrical products maker nVent has picked the Phoenix area for its next big factory, a fresh boost for US hiring 2026. The company said on 27 October 2026 that it has leased a 400,000 square foot manufacturing site in Goodyear, Arizona, which will employ more than 200 people once fully operational.
What the plant will build
The Goodyear site will make engineered buildings – large, factory-built structures that house electrical equipment. A key product is the e-house, a prefabricated electrical building delivered to a site ready to install.
nVent says demand is coming from three main groups of customers:
- Power utilities upgrading the grid
- Data centres, which are expanding fast to support AI and cloud computing
- Industrial customers building or upgrading plants
