HuanYu Group Co., Ltd., a leading Chinese electrical equipment manufacturer, has accepted a strategic investment by Eaton, a global electrical giant, to form a joint venture company – HuanYu High Tech Co., Ltd. – to manufacture and market low-voltage (LV) circuit breakers and contactors in China.
China is one of the biggest markets for LV electrical components, with 2,000 companies engaged in the business. In 2020, the market size exceeded US$15 billion. Powered by the development of 5G technology, clean energy, as well as grid transformation, it will continue to expand in 2021–2023.
