Dear Reader,

What is Eaton® after all the acquisitions? To many of its customers, Eaton is more familiar through a variety of product lines such as Powerware®, MGE Office Protection Systems ®and Moeller®. The company continues to grow, but what is really at its core?

The answer boils down to three words that also appear on Eaton’s new logo – Powering Business Worldwide. All Eaton’s operations have a link to power. We produce it, manage it, secure its supply and develop technologies to use it more effectively. And all this is done to ensure that our customers’ businesses run as smoothly, reliably and effectively as possible.

Worldwide operations now have a new meaning for Eaton. Eaton’s Power Quality business is growing strongly around the world. The acquisitions of MGE Office Protection Systems and The Moeller Group have strengthened Eaton’s position in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the acquisition of Phoenixtec further improves the company’s position in Asia. Our growing network of offices and employees allows us to serve our global customers with local expertise, close to their business.

Fast, global growth creates a challenge for operations and requires solid foundations. Customers have to be able to rely on Eaton’s people and business as well as on the quality of the products and services – all around the world, all the time. This is why Eaton has been a forerunner in fostering sustainable business and ethical culture for years. As a sign of this, Eaton has once again been recognised as one of “The World’s Most Ethical Companies” by Ethisphere magazine, thanks to its environmental activities, social responsibility, and strong leadership ethics.

Get ready for powerful business!

Best regards,

Anita Putkinen
