By Brazil Stock Guide – TSEA Energy will invest $25 million to build its first manufacturing facility in the United States, in Eden, North Carolina, as it moves closer to American utilities amid a nationwide push to modernize the power grid. The plant is expected to create about 160 jobs and begin ramping up production in the fourth quarter of 2026.
The facility will produce single-phase voltage regulators for the U.S. market, a key component in stabilizing distribution networks facing aging infrastructure, rising electricity demand and the growing complexity of bidirectional flows from solar, batteries and electric vehicles. By localizing production, TSEA aims to improve product availability, shorten delivery times and strengthen supply chain reliability.
The move reflects a broader industrial shift as the company transitions from exporting into the U.S. to establishing a domestic manufacturing base in a market undergoing a multi-year investment cycle in grid resilience and efficiency. The Eden site, spanning about 160,000 square feet, will manufacture equipment with up to 1100A current and 36.2 kV voltage capacity, incorporating advanced electronic controls, modern communication protocols and cybersecurity features.
Founded in 1968 and headquartered in Contagem, Brazil, TSEA employs around 1,300 people, generates more than $500 million in annual revenue and serves clients in over 50 countries. The new U.S. plant is expected to at least double the company’s global manufacturing capacity, reinforcing its international footprint as it seeks to capture growth opportunities in the world’s largest electricity market.
