Eaton Preps Data Center Power Density Technology; Touts Nvidia, Siemens and ChargePoint Partnerships

Power management provider Eaton generated record financial results for Q2 of 2025, while also building several strategic partnerships, and planning further data center power management innovations, CEO Paulo Ruiz Sternadt said.

Sternadt succeeded former CEO Craig Arnold in May 2025 when Arnold retired. So far, the company appears to be performing well under Sternadt's leadership.

On the financial front, Eaton sales were $7.0 billion, up 11% from the second quarter of 2024.  The company is capitalizing on "megatrends including digitalization, electrification, reindustrialization and increased defense spending," Sternadt said in August 2025. Key partnership milestones in Q2 of 2025 included NVIDIA, Siemens Energy and ChargePoint, he added.

Separately, Eaton in August 2025 completed the acquisition of Resilient Power Systems, a provider of ultra-compact EV charging depots. The acquired business also plans to develop applications for data centers, "enabling customers to increase power density and revenue generation." Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
