Eaton Receives Frost & Sullivan 2007 Power Quality Vendor Of The Year Award in Asia Pacific Region

SINGAPORE … Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation today announced that it has been named 2007 Power Quality Vendor of the Year in the Asia Pacific region by Frost & Sullivan. The award was given to Eaton because of the company’s ability to exhibit growth in the Asia Pacific region and its demonstrated leadership in product innovation during 2006 for the Asia Pacific markets.

“Eaton is one of the key power quality companies in the Asia Pacific region and has consistently increased its presence in a highly competitive market,” said Subramanya Bettadapura, research manager, Power Systems, Frost & Sullivan. “Eaton’s strong branding, wide product portfolio and a high level of customer commitment, make it a strong and valuable contributor to the power quality market.”
