Dale Baker Named President of JT Eaton

TWINSBURG, Ohio – JT Eaton named Dale Baker as the company’s next president. Baker will be responsible for leading the company's strategic direction and overall operations.

Baker has been vice president of sales for the company since 2005. He is the third generation of the Baker family to run the family-owned-and-operated business established in 1932.

“In an extreme case of nepotism, it’s an incredible honor to be named the president of the organization my family built,” Baker said. “I’ve worked very hard to put my piece of the puzzle in place. To be recognized this way confirms that my puzzle piece has contributed to the overall.”

Baker’s experience with the company started at seven years old, when he started going to the factory with his grandfather, Stanley Z. Baker.

“I always loved going to JT Eaton with my grandfather and my father. I will never forget the smell of these massive machines cranking out Peanut Butter Bait Blocks. It was my favorite smell,” Baker said.

He worked alongside his grandfather, uncle and father, learning about the business and the pest control industry. In his role as vice president of sales, Baker steered the company back to its roots of innovation, leading the launch of Bait Block for Rodents and Ticks and ZendoZones Fruit Fly Traps.
