HISTORY

Eaton came to India in April 1999 with the global acquisition of Aeroquip Vickers. Eaton had acquired two manufacturing plants in Mumbai and Pune under the name of Vickers Systems International Limited (VSIL). The Mumbai plant was integrated into Pune operations in January 2002. Today, the facility is an Eaton Center of Excellence (COE) for gear pumps and is being expanded to commence manufacturing of steering control units and hitch valves.

When Eaton completed its global acquisition of Powerware from Invensys in June 2004, the New Delhi based facilities of Powerware were also integrated into Eaton’s India operations. Eaton Power Quality Pvt. Ltd caters a range of UPS and DC systems to many industries.

Eaton has a medium- and heavy-duty truck transmission and components plant in Ranjangaon, India. The Ranjangaon plant marks the important entry of Eaton’s Truck business into India and will be Eaton’s second manufacturing facility in the country.
