Eaton has entered into an agreement with Sadara Chemical Company (Sadara), a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and The Dow Chemical Company, to supply motor control, power distribution systems and engineering services.
Under the multimillion dollar agreement, Eaton will provide equipment and services to enhance the overall reliability and safety of Sadara's global, fully integrated chemical complex currently under construction in Jubail Industrial City, Saudi Arabia.
