Eaton has played a vital role in electrifying both integrated paper mills and building products facilities that make up the Forest Products Industry. For over 115 years, Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer products have helped build power generation and distribution systems, control and drive systems and automated networks that power today's industry. As the Forest Products industry continues through the business cycle, owners are pushing to lower operating costs, reduce downtime and improve reliability, driven by the need to return the cost of capital to company shareholders.

In this new business environment, Eaton has transformed from being just an electrical supplier that contributes to building the industry, to emerging as the industry's leading Electrical Solutions Provider. Since user engineers from the top five North American producers of Pulp & Paper routinely participate as members of our design development team, via customer focus groups, our domain expertise delivers results through development of industry specific solutions in the Forest Products Industry. A few of our industry solution initiatives include:

• Life cycle extension services to reduce capital investment
• Predictive diagnostic offerings to reduce or eliminate routine maintenance
• Energy profiles and engineering audits to optimize operations
• Risk mitigation through safety training and solutions that assure compliance with the latest industry codes and standards
• Facility maintenance and engineering services through Eaton's Electrical Services & Systems to offload growing operations expense

Eaton maintains a long-term strategic commitment to the Forest Products industry. Our company has historically maintained a leadership role in developing new technical concepts and solutions in industry societies, including the Technical Association of the Pulp & Paper Industry (TAPPI) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Industry Applications Society (IEEE IAS) Pulp & Paper Technical Committee. Aligning with Eaton will move your enterprise forward down the path to improved profitability.
