Intelligent power management company Eaton recently announced it was named an Elite Supplier at the Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) 11th Annual Symposium. Held in Busan, South Korea, from April 27-28, the symposium recognizes the top performing KAI suppliers for achieving on-time deliveries, quality standards and customer satisfaction. This is the second time Eaton has received the prestigious award.

“Over the past three decades, we've had the pleasure of working with a world-class aerospace and defense company like KAI,” said Desmond Goh, Managing Director - Asia Pacific, Aerospace Group, Eaton. “The award represents our team's loyalty and dedication to KAI, and we look forward to our continued partnership in the future.”

Eaton's Aerospace Group has an illustrious history of supporting KAI and the South Korean defense industry. Desmond added: “From the KT-1 Woongbi in the early 1990s to the latest KF-21 Boramae development program, Eaton continues to be a steadfast and reliable supplier for major fuel and hydraulics components and mission systems equipment.”

Recently, Eaton acquired Souriau-Sunbank and Cobham Mission Systems, adding new products ranging from interconnect solutions to air-to-air refueling, environment systems and missile actuation systems. By broadening the company's aerospace product portfolio, Eaton has strengthened its commitment to OEMs such as KAI and other global industry leaders.
