The CEO Paulo Ruiz had this to say at the time of the signing:

“Bringing together Boyd Thermal’s highly-engineered liquid cooling technology and global service model with Eaton’s existing products and scale will provide enhanced value to customers. In data centers, particularly, our combined expertise in both power and liquid cooling from the chip to the grid will enable customers to manage increasing power demands more effectively.”
