Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation (NYSE:ETN)
announced today it has signed a definitive agreement to sell its
Mirror Controls Division to funds managed by Englefield Capital
LLP, a �1.8 billion private equity firm, for $111 million. The
transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is
expected to close within the next 30 days. Eaton�s Mirror Controls
Division is part of the company�s Automotive Group. The division
employs approximately 630 people and has four manufacturing
operations. The business produces mirror actuators and power-fold
actuators for exterior automotive mirror systems. Sales in 2006
were approximately $135 million. Eaton said it made the decision to
sell the Mirror Controls Division because the division does not fit
the company�s long-term strategic plan. �As our automotive business
continues to evolve, our resources are focused principally on
products that affect performance in areas driven by regulation, and
on products that serve specialty niches within automotive and
related vehicle industries,� said Stephen M. Buente, Eaton senior
vice president and president � Automotive Group. �We believe this
decision will offer significant opportunities for the mirror
controls business to thrive under the leadership of Englefield.�
