Through the decades, we’ve remained resilient, adapting to a changing world. And as we celebrate 100 years as a publicly traded company, we’re ready to power the next century. We’re accelerating society’s transition to renewable energy, advancing the electrification of everything and delivering new digital technologies for intelligent power management.
Our longevity on the exchange reflects Eaton’s resiliency and ability to adapt to the changing world around us. Over time we’ve reinvented ourselves again and again – all in service to developing the leading-edge power management technologies and solutions the world needs.
We were founded on a spirit of innovation.
We began in an era of dramatic change in transportation. In the 1940s, we built scale as a diversified automotive and truck component supplier, making trucks safer, more reliable and more efficient. We expanded our portfolio in the 1970s beyond truck and auto, creating a diversified industrial. By the start of the new century, we had refocused as a power management company.
We've never stopped transforming.
Today, we've transformed into an intelligent power management company with operations in 170 countries, more than 91,000 employees and $20.8 billion in revenues in 2022. As we've evolved, we've stayed focused on our responsibility to our key stakeholders -- our employees, customers, shareholders, communities -- and all of society.
We're looking ahead to what's next.
We're now at the forefront of some of the most important growth trends that we will see in our lifetime -- electrification, the energy transition and digitalization are positioning us for a growth super cycle that will put us on the leading edge of solving the world's intelligent power management needs.
