SOUTHFIELD, Mich. -- Eaton Automotive has named Jeff Saxton to the role of sales engineer for the Automotive Aftermarket Performance Products group. His responsibilities will include the training of technicians and rep group management.

Saxton joined Eaton in 1991 and has extensive experience in new product development, product training, vehicle demonstrations and other marketing support to OEMs, aftermarket representatives and even end-consumers, on a global basis. His new role will take advantage of his differential knowledge on both the OE and Aftermarket level.

Commenting on his new appointment, Saxton said, "In my new role, I am eager to provide our customers as much support as possible. Experience has taught me that an informed client can't help but appreciate the engineering, quality and resultant value designed into all Eaton aftermarket products. My goal is to help our customers ‘see’ and better understand that value. We have developed numerous training/marketing materials including product training presentations, product animations, cutaway displays and printed materials to help improve our customer training."
