In a move designed to strengthen the United States' energy infrastructure, Hyosung Heavy Industries and a subsidiary of Quanta Services have established a new joint venture. The entity, named HYOSUNG HICO BREAKER, LLC, will be based in Pennsylvania and focus on manufacturing high-voltage circuit breakers. Production at the new facility is expected to commence as early as October.
This expansion comes as the US utility sector faces mounting pressure to modernize aging power grids. Quanta Services (PWR) previously reported robust growth in its electric power solutions segment, with a record backlog exceeding $30 billion in Q1 2024 (per company earnings reports). The firm competes with peers like Eaton and Hubbell, which have also seen surging demand for grid hardware. This venture aims to mitigate reliance on foreign imports for critical components that have suffered from lengthy lead times.
