EATON - FORD CONTROL MODULE BUSINESS

Novi, Michigan -- Eaton Corporation has awarded Citation the control-module casting program for Ford Motor Company’s New 5 – Speed Automatic Transmission.

Supplying these components to Eaton for Ford’s transmission program further demonstrates the value Citation adds to metal component design, development, and manufacturing.
