Eaton's involvement in Europe began in 1946 with a minority interest in the Hobourn-Eaton Manufacturing Company Ltd., a British manufacturer of motor pumps and gears. Since then, Eaton's presence in this region has grown significantly, both organically and through acquisitions. In 2007, Eaton strengthened its Uninterruptible Power System business by acquiring MGE Office Protection Systems. In 2008, the company further increased its global capability by acquiring the Moeller Group. In addition, Eaton enhanced its hydraulics portfolio with the acquisition of Integ Holdings Limited. With these transactions, Eaton's manufacturing footprint today includes approximately 60 sites that make an array of electrical, aerospace, hydraulic, truck and automotive components for markets in Europe, the Middle East, Russia and Africa.
