Hoover's coverage by Nancy Daniels

Overview

When it comes to diversification, Eaton favors an all-you-can-eat approach. The manufacturer has made dozens of acquisitions (as well as divestitures) in its long and storied history. The company's product lines include electrical power distribution and control equipment, hydraulic products for use in mobile and industrial applications, aerospace propulsion systems, and truck safety systems. It is also one of the world's largest manufacturers of grips for golf clubs. Electrical power management is its leading line of business these days, accounting for about half of Eaton's sales. Geographically, the company makes more than half of its sales within the US.
