The Eaton Corporation has formed a new Global Aftermarket and Clutch Business Unit and has named John Beering the organization’s vice president and general manager. According to Eaton, the new business will combine Eaton’s automotive and truck aftermarket product lines and its heavy-duty truck clutch business and will have global responsibility for marketing, sales, business development, engineering, program management and manufacturing strategy.
“This new structure will help us to put a greater focus on the aftermarket in both the automotive and commercial vehicle markets, and it will also allow us to better apply our resources to grow these businesses globally,” says Ken Davis, president of Eaton’s Vehicle Group. “John’s business leadership skills and experience position him very well to lead and grow these businesses for us.”
Beering was vice president and general manager of clutch and aftermarket for Eaton’s Truck Group before being named to his new position. He has been with Eaton since 2006.
