'Eureka' is Greek for 'I found it' and history credits the Greek physicist Archimedes for making the phrase famous when he took a dip in his tub, discovered the theory of water displacement, and shouted 'Eureka!'As an environmentally conscious company that prides itself on creating innovative products, Eureka is constantly shouting 'I found it!' Whether it was the development of the 'wooden lung' in 1949 or the vacuums that proudly display the ENERGY STAR® rating today, Eureka is committed to the next great innovation.
