In 2011, Eaton Corp. is celebrating its 100th anniversary and a heritage of innovation and expertise that has positioned the company to answer tough power management challenges.

This spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship driven by integrity and an unwavering commitment to ethics was part of Joseph Eaton’s vision when he founded the company. Since that time, Eaton has evolved from a leader and innovator in vehicle technologies to a company that also serves the hydraulics, aerospace and electrical markets.

Eaton’s technologies and products play an important role in managing power in many things—from more energy-efficient buildings, cities and infrastructure to next-generation aircraft, cars, trucks and machines.

Today, Eaton’s global operations serve diverse markets and customers in more than 150 countries.
