Power management company Eaton announced it has completed the acquisition of Cobham Mission Systems. Cobham is a leading manufacturer of air-to-air refueling systems, environmental systems, and actuation, primarily for defense markets. The business has a workforce of approximately 2,000 people and manufacturing facilities in the United States and United Kingdom.
"We're excited to welcome the Cobham team to Eaton," said Heath Monesmith, president and chief operating officer, Industrial Sector, Eaton. "This acquisition, along with our prior acquisition of Souriau-Sunbank, positions our Aerospace business well for the future. These are just two examples of ways we are repositioning Eaton's portfolio for higher growth, stronger margins and more consistent performance."
