Our Bold Strategy
Anchored by Three Pillars
Each pillar is designed to accelerate growth and create sustained value for shareholders.
Lead for Growth
Drive a customer-centric and fast organization.
Invest for Growth
Double down in high-growth and high-margin markets.
Execute for Growth
Transform from good to best-in-class and expand profitability.
Ultra PCS Acquisition
The Ultra PCS acquisition strengthens Eaton's position in fast-growing aerospace and defense markets. Ultra PCS's innovative solutions for safety and mission-critical aerospace systems will augment Eaton's portfolio in both military and civilian aircraft. The company has a strong pedigree on attractive aerospace platforms and is well-positioned for next-generation aerospace solutions, expecting double-digit growth and accretive margins to the Aerospace segment.
Acquisition of Resilient Power Systems
The acquisition of Resilient Power Systems will strengthen Eaton's power distribution offering for Data Centers and other direct current (DC) applications. Resilient's solid-state transformer technology replaces traditional copper windings with power electronics for medium voltage to low voltage power conversion, serving as a critical building block in future high-power AI data center designs. The technology also supports other direct current applications like EV charging and battery storage. Resilient's solution offers high-density electrical power in a smaller footprint than comparable solutions, simplifying system installation, reducing customer costs, and speeding time to revenue.
