It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting the historic Pinckneyville Historical Monument gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Jonesville, SC is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

They give great care, but they're also super easy to work with and you feel important with them. I have recommended the agency to many people. I like the owner, Phil. He is just a really stand-up guy. He is very knowledgeable and he is very empathetic. You don't get the feeling that he is in the business to make money and provide livelihood. He really cares about people and really wants the clients taken care of well. I think he has a lot of expertise and compassion. Everyone that we have dealt with there has been great. I also like the caregiver that we've had, Fawn. She has been with the client for over 15 months. She is just really great with the client. He is in assisted living now but we choose to have her go in still for more companion care for the client. She is just a really sweet person and helps us with keeping up to date with what the client needs. He just loves having her around.”

I would have to give them a 5 star rating and honestly can not think of one thing that went wrong on their part while we used their care The Caregiver was excellent. I wholeheartedly would recommend Always Best Care to anyone that finds themselves needing a caregiver to come along beside them.”
“Needed care for my mother with dementia, and father with medical issues. The team at Always Best Care were very responsive to our needs for 24/7 care for about 8 weeks. They try hard to have the same caregivers come to the house for continuity of care. The family really appreciated Phil's assistance with placing my parents in Assisted Living.

“Phil, We so love Sara and are very appreciative for the way you run your business. You really stand out in an industry and a time when people just go through the motions. You are a very special man and I pray that you will be very successful in your business.”
“Dear Phil, "We would like to thank you and your staff for providing such wonderful live-in care for our Grandfather from June through October 2013. Our family found ourselves in the most unimaginable situation when our Grandmother was unexpectedly hospitalized in late May and ultimately passed away in June. As you know, she was the sole caregiver for our Grandfather who has severe Alzheimer's disease. We are so very fortunate that we discovered your agency! You were able to promptly place qualified caregivers in his home and this gave our family immediate peace of mind. The level of care and compassion that you and your caregivers demonstrated toward our Grandfather is more than we ever anticipated and we will be forever grateful. You all walked with him through the terrible tragedy of losing his wife of 67 years. You and your staff provided extraordinary physical and emotional care for him through his grief and made getting him back to a "normal" life your top priority upon her death. In addition to the care you all provided my Grandfather, you were so kind to help educate us on the progression of Alzheimer's. You were a wonderful resource to us on what to expect in the next phases of this disease and help us plan for long-term care for him. While we are very sad to have to place him in a memory care-assisted living facility, we made the decision knowing that this will be the best place for him as he ages and his disease worsens. Your guidance and expertise in helping us choose the right facility for him helped make this daunting task bearable. Thank you again for all that you have done for our grandfather and for our family! We will be forever grateful!”
“Phil, We so love Sara and are very appreciative for the way you run your business. You really stand out in an industry and a time when people just go through the motions. You are a very special man and I pray that you will be very successful in your business.”
“Dear Phil, Thank you and your team for providing the great help and assistance during this summer. The care givers that we had were excellent and very professional. Thanks for being so flexible with the scheduling.”
Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting J.D. Addis Community Park with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local The Cafe or visit Old Jonesville Mill Pond, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in Jonesville, SC, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.
Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.
At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.
In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:
When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.
Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.
At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Jonesville, SC understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:
At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.
Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:
For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Jonesville, SC 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intelligent power management company Eaton (NYSE:ETN) is helping address the critical shortage of transformers and record demand for its solutions across utility, large commercial, industrial and data center customers. The company is investing $340 million to increase U.S. production of its three-phase transformers essential to reliable electrical power. Production and hiring at Eaton’s new Jonesville, South Carolina facility is expected to begin in 2027. Eaton will continue to also manufacture three-phase transformers at two Wisconsin facilities.
“Electrical power demand is increasing dramatically, and our solutions are at the heart of energy systems everywhere, from the utility grid to industrials, data centers, buildings and more,” said Mike Yelton, president, Americas Region, Electrical Sector at Eaton. “We’re grateful for the strong collaboration and support in South Carolina, where we have a long history of manufacturing and innovation. Eaton is continuing to increase production and add jobs there and across the U.S. to support affordable, reliable and clean energy.”
Eaton transformers meet the highest efficiency standards in the industry, helping customers save energy and costs. Building on more than a century of transformer innovation and manufacturing, Eaton will convert an existing facility in Jonesville, South Carolina into a state-of-the-art manufacturing site for three-phase transformers. The project is supported by local, state and federal economic development incentives. The company is also working closely with readySC and regional schools to support hiring and industry training.
“Eaton’s new operation in Union County, which will mean 700 new jobs for the local community, represents a major vote of confidence in South Carolina’s highly skilled, world-class workforce. This investment is a remarkable milestone for Eaton and Union County, and we celebrate the opportunities it will create throughout the state in the years ahead,” said South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster.
“South Carolina is a leader in manufacturing due to our talented workforce, quality of life and business environment. I welcome Eaton’s investment in Union County, further ensuring our state remains on the forefront of grid modernization,” said Senator Lindsey Graham.
Senator Tim Scott shared, “This is great news! Eaton’s investment and expansion will create more job opportunities for the community and stimulate our local economy. I am glad South Carolina continues to be a hotbed for economic growth and a leading force in energy!”
"South Carolina continues to set the gold standard as a competitive, business-friendly state with a strong and growing workforce. I am thrilled that Eaton has chosen Union County for its expansion, and I look forward to the positive impact this investment will have in the years ahead," said Congressman Ralph Norman.
“We are pleased to welcome Eaton to Union County and acknowledge their investment and the new jobs opportunities they are introducing. Their considerable investment highlights the confidence global companies like Eaton have in Union County’s capability to address their needs. On behalf of the county council, county staff and our partners, we convey our congratulations and appreciation for Eaton’s commitment to Union County,” said Union County Supervisor Phillip Russell.
Eaton will continue to manufacture three-phase transformers in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The company will also continue to produce single-phase, pole-mount and pad-mount transformers in Nacogdoches, Texas.
Since 2023, Eaton has invested more than $1 billion in its North American manufacturing for electrical solutions. Eaton is also increasing supplies of power distribution solutions, including transformers and voltage regulators; as well as electrical assemblies: switchgear, switchboards and circuit breakers; and solutions supporting electric grid infrastructure projects.

Eaton Corp. executives are adding $340 million to the transformer investment boom with a plan to convert a South Carolina factory that will employ 700 people after it opens in 2027.
Cleveland-based Eaton plans to make three-phase transformers at its plant in Jonesville, east of Greenville, and is receiving local, state and federal incentives for the project. The company already makes three-phase transformers at two Wisconsin factories and also manufactures single-phase, pole-mount and pad-mount transformers in Nacogdoches, Texas.
Executives 18 months ago said they were spending more than $500 million to expand the capacity of those operations as they address the shortage of transformers in the United States and seek to catch up to strong demand for electrical equipment from utilities, data centers and other customers. In all, Easton has spent more than $1 billion on expansion projects over the past two-plus years.
“Electrical power demand is increasing dramatically and our solutions are at the heart of energy systems everywhere,” said Mike Yelton, president of the Americas in Eaton’s Electrical Sector group. “We’re grateful for the strong collaboration and support in South Carolina, where we have a long history of manufacturing and innovation.”
The Jonesville investment by Eaton is the latest in a series of moves by manufacturers looking to feed the appetite for equipment: Analysts at Wood Mackenzie last fall wrote that the U.S. market accounted for about half of the roughly $7 billion in announced investments made companies globally in 2023 and 2024. Researchers Xizhou Zhou and Devin Thomas said they had tracked at least 50 new factories in the works by 25 manufacturers.
Among them are:
• Electric Research Manufacturing Cooperative Inc., which is adding 400 jobs through a three-phase project in West Tennessee
• Newly former Voltaris Power LLC, formed by a New York private equity firm to bring together Pioneer Custom Electrical Products and Jefferson Electric
• TMC Transformers USA Inc., which is building a factory in Waynesville, Georgia, that will employ about 110 people
• Hitachi Energy, which is investing $70 million in a distribution transformer factory in Reynosa, Mexico, and spending $25 million to grow its South Boston, Virginia, transformer plant.
• Steel maker Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., which will invest $100 million and use a $50 million forgivable loan from the state of West Virginia to convert part of an idled mill into a distribution transformer factory.
Those companies and others are looking to maintain or grow their share of a market that is expected to more than double over the next decade. That forecast and today’s shortages—lead times are often more than two years for larger equipment, according to Wood Mackenzie research—have pushed equipment prices up substantially.

(WSPA) – Multiple wildfires were reported Saturday across the Upstate, aided by high winds and low humidity.
The South Carolina Forestry Commission reported fires in Oconee County, Pickens County, Spartanburg County, Greenville County, and Union County.
In Pickens County, crews were battling a fire near Laurel Ridge Road off of Six Mile Highway.
Residents of Six Mile Ridge and Pilgrim Circle were asked to evacuate the area, according to the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office.
A shelter was opened at Pleasant Hill Fellowship Hall at 3041 Six Mile Highway in Central.
The fire on Six Mile Mountain was 230 acres as of 10 p.m., according to the SC Forestry Commission.
Smoke from that fire spread over parts of Greenville. The plume of smoke was visible from a 7NEWS City Cam in downtown Greenville.
In Union County, a fire broke out along Jonesville Lockhart Highway near Pineland Road east of Jonesville.
As of 7 p.m., that fire was around 60 acres in size, according to the forestry commission.
The Jonesville Fire Department said they were called to a large grass fire around 4 p.m.
Some cars and outbuildings were destroyed by the fire, according to Jonesville Fire Chief DJ Long.
Long said no houses were lost in the fire and firefighters will remain on scene throughout the night monitoring hot spots.
That fire was contained by Saturday night.
In Spartanburg County, firefighters responded to a fire between Miller Town Road and Blackstock Road.
Forestry officials said that fire was 90 acres in size as of 6:30 p.m.
Smoke from that fire, located just south of Pauline, was visible from the 7NEWS City Cam in downtown Spartanburg Saturday afternoon.
A smaller, eight-acre fire was also burning along Newberry Road just south of Landrum in Spartanburg County, as of 6:45 p.m. That fire was contained by 8:15 p.m.
The Inman City Fire Department said in a post on social media more than 20 brush fires were reported in Spartanburg County on Saturday, many of them occurred simultaneously.
The South Carolina Forestry Commission issued a statewide burning ban Saturday evening.
The ban means that all outdoor burning, prescribed burns, and campfires will not be allowed in unincorporated areas of the state.

JONESVILLE — Ohio-based Eaton plans to invest $340 million and create 700 jobs making transformers at a facility in Jonesville with production expected to begin in 2027.
Officials from Eaton Corp. made the announcement Feb. 11 during a Union County Council meeting. The project was formerly codenamed "Project Panama." It will be the company's 11th location in South Carolina where it already employs 2,700 workers.
"We are pleased to welcome Eaton to Union County and acknowledge their investment and the new job opportunities they are introducing," Union County Supervisor Phillip Russell said. "Their considerable investment highlights the confidence global companies like Eaton have in Union County's capability to address their needs."
The company will acquire and retrofit the 861,000-square-foot facility at 6802 Furman L. Fendley Highway in Jonesville, roughly 15 miles southeast of Spartanburg. A $10 million Rural Infrastructure Fund Grant was awarded to Union County to help with the cost of retrofitting the building, which formerly housed a Belk distribution center that closed in 2022.
At the Jonesville facility, Eaton will manufacture three-phase transformers. Eaton serves customers in more than 160 countries.
"Electrical power demand is increasing dramatically, and our solutions are at the heart of energy systems everywhere, from the utility grid to industrials, data centers, buildings and more," said Mike Yelton, Eaton Electrical Sector Americas Region President.
Union County Councilman Danny Bright said Eaton's search included consideration of potential sites across the country and overseas. He's excited about the investment and new jobs coming to Jonesville.
"I think it's one of the biggest announcements in Union County's history," Bright said. "Eaton didn't just look at Union, South Carolina. It was an international search."
Bright said he expects Union County to continue to draw interest from other companies with growth expected to continue.
Eaton began searching for a new site last summer. It started with 25 sites being considered before it narrowed to 12, then two. Ultimately, Jonesville was selected. Union County Councilman John Flood said Eaton will partner with Spartanburg Community College to train its workforce for the new plant.
"Eaton started its search last June," Flood said. "We worked to make sure all the pieces came together. It's going to be their largest investment anywhere in the country and will bring us high-paying good jobs for Union County."
Flood said he expects Union County residents to fill many of the new jobs with others moving from outside the county to work at the new plant. Flood noted there's already been an acceleration of new housing construction over the past two years. Eaton had considered building a new facility for the new plant but when it found the former building used for the Belk distribution center the deal was secured.
The new jobs are welcomed in a county that has a higher unemployment rate than the state average. South Carolina's unemployment rate is 4.7 percent while Union County's is 4.9 percent based on the latest information from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Eaton was founded in 1911. The company's sales in the fourth quarter of 2024 were $6.2 billion, marking a record-setting quarter with sales up by 6 percent.
"Once again, we delivered on our commitments in the quarter, reporting record segment margins and strong earnings per share," Craig Arnold, Eaton chairman and CEO, said in a statement. "We continue to see positive market activity with orders at high levels and ongoing backlog strength."
