* The Westinghouse Distribution and Controls Business Unit was acquired by Eaton in 1994. The acquisition included all of the Westinghouse electrical distribution and control product business and also included stipulations that the Westinghouse name cannot be used by anyone else on these types of product for years. Today, Eaton's electrical business manufactures leading electrical distribution and control products branded "Eaton" or "Cutler-Hammer" which can replace Westinghouse products in commercial and industrial applications.
