In 2018, the Kearney Chamber of Commerce named Eaton its Outstanding Business of the Year. Kearney also was one of only two Eaton facilities that won the corporation’s Stover Award in 2018.
Eaton expected its $13 million, 140,000-square-foot plant on Kearney’s east side would produce about 12 million valves per year, all for its sole customer, the Ford Motor Co.

An Eaton Corporation spokesman says 49 of 630 workers in Kearney and 64 of 88 in Hastings will temporarily lose their jobs as early as Monday. Their benefits will continue.
