ETO – THE HEART OF MOTION

This page is still under construction.

We embody stability.

By consistently developing and expanding the ETO GRUPPE, turnover and employee numbers have been continuously growing.

Are you a team player and love your job? Then you’ve come to the right place:

We’re always looking for clever minds who actively get involved and take on responsibility. Whether you have years of professional experience or are only just starting out in your career, we offer you the chance to prove yourself in an international environment. With you on board, our goal is to make our customers even more enthusiastic than before.

Join us and become part of the ETO Team!

Whether it’s hydraulic systems, pneumatic production and automation technologies, large diesel engines or medical technology: Nowadays, hardly any industry or international market can manage without innovative and high-quality products from ETO.

Our main products include actuators, sensors, valve solenoids and solenoid valves, which we have been optimising steadily for 70 years and adapting them to the requirements of our customers and markets.

As well as developing and producing individual solutions, we also offer the use of efficient and flexible modular systems of the ETO GRUPPE. All customers therefore benefit from our company’s product diversity and technological competence.

The ETO GRUPPE has been developing and manufacturing commercial vehicle components for medium-duty and heavy-duty commercial vehicles (MD and HD trucks) for 70 years, as well as for the trailer market. In our experience, constant innovativeness and product quality benefit virtually all truck and trailer manufacturers worldwide.

The development and production of our valves, sensors and actuators is always centred around the key issues for our customers: Efficiency, environmental protection, safety and comfort. Thanks to our many years of experience and pioneering role in both the passenger car and commercial vehicle sector, we create synergies for our customers like nobody else. The result is innovative products that make a significant contribution to efficient and clean transportation.

The ETO product portfolio essentially consists of pneumatic solenoid valves as well as speed and pressure sensors. These are used in air suspensions, clutches, brakes and air treatment in commercial vehicles. Furthermore, ETO develops and manufactures hydraulic solenoid valves as well as 1- and 2-pin actuators, which are used in innovative systems in the engine compartment.

Increasing efficiency and reducing emissions are what drive the mobility of tomorrow and define our aspiration in developing our individual customer solutions. As a long-standing partner in the passenger car sector, we know what is required of our products. Together with our teams of specialists, we develop and produce valves, solenoids and actuators to reduce CO₂ emissions and increase engine performance with the same or even reduced energy consumption.

This is how our actuators control and regulate systems such as variable stroke or valve timing of the inlet and exhaust valves in engines. Our products also play an important role in the thermal management of vehicles. Used to regulate water and oil pumps, ETO proportional valve solenoids or switching solenoids here ensure a precise and regulated temperature cycle. This enables them to increase the efficiency of engines and ensure a lasting reduction of the emissions.

Information on Data Protection When Using the Website

We provide you with information below about the collection of personal data when using our website. Personal data are all data that are available about you personally, e.g. name, address, email address and user behavior. We process your personal data in compliance with the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act, new version (BDSG), and all other relevant laws on the processing of personal data.

I. Collection of Personal Data 

(1) Essentially, we only collect data which are legally or contractually stipulated or necessary to conclude the contract. There are no negative consequences associated with the non-provision of these data. However, in individual cases non-provision may obstruct or delay communication with you, for example.
(2) Your personal data are protected from loss and misuse at all times through reasonable technical and organizational measures. In certain cases, e.g. when using our contact form, your personal data will be encrypted in the course of transmission by so-called Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology. This means that communication takes place between your computer and our servers, using a recognized encryption method.
(3) In some cases, we will transmit your data to third parties and/or data processors (e.g. IT providers, hosting providers, computer centers, etc.), who provide us with support in contract implementation, or in order to comply with legal obligations. If third parties are service providers, they have been carefully selected and commissioned by us; data processors are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored. Your data will be transferred if you have consented to transmission in advance or we are legally or contractually authorized or obliged to do so.

VI. Your Right to Withdraw Consent and Right to Object 

(1) Your right to withdraw consent
You have the right to withdraw consent issued on the basis of Article 6 (1) clause 1a) GDPR at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out until that time. If consent is withdrawn, we shall stop the relevant data processing.

Under Article 21 GDPR you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning you, which are collected on the basis of Article 6 (1) f) GDPR.

VII. Data Collection When Using Data for Information Only 

(1) You can visit our website without having to give details about your person. When using our website merely for information, i.e. if you do not contact us via our contact form, for example, or transfer information to us in any other way, we will only collect personal data which are automatically transferred to our server by your browser and stored in protocol data (server log files). The following data are collected:
- IP address
- date and time of query
- request line
- status code

Continued storage is possible if for example we detect irregularities in the log files as a result of attacks. In this case the IP addresses are deleted or distorted, so that assignment is no longer possible.
(5) The recording of data on provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the site and carried out automatically. The user has the option to object, but we have no influence over data processing for the future.

XI. Google Maps 

(1) We use Google Maps, an online service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), on this website. As a result, we can show you interactive maps directly on the website and allow you to use the map function conveniently. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. As a minimum, Google then receives your IP address and the referrer URL. This takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account on which you are logged in, or whether there is no user account. In the event of you also being logged on with an existing user account at Google in parallel to visiting our websites, Google may also allocate the visit to our websites to your user behavior.
(2) Google stores your data as a user profile and uses data for the purpose of advertising, market research and/or demand-based design of its website. Such an analysis is conducted in particular (even for users who are not logged on) to provide demand-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.
(3) The legal foundation for processing by us is constituted by Article 6 (1) clause 1f) GDPR and our legitimate interest in shaping our offer overall for users in a user-friendly and uniform way.
(4) We do not have any influence on the collected data and data processing operations, and nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purpose of processing or storage periods. We also have no information available on the deletion of collected data by the provider. If you do not want to be assigned to your Google profile, you will have to log out.
(5) You can find more detailed information on the terms of use and data privacy at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/.

XII. Google reCAPTCHA 

(1) We use Google reCAPTCHA, an online service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), on this website. Its integration serves to differentiate whether entries are made by a natural person or improperly through machine and automated processing.
(2) We use Google reCAPTCHA for the purpose of ensuring sufficient data security in the transmission of personal data. When you use Google reCAPTCHA, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, as a minimum, your IP address and the referrer URL are transmitted. This takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account on which you are logged on, or whether there is no user account. In the event of you also being logged in to Google with an existing user account in parallel to visiting our websites, Google may also assign the visit to our websites to your user behavior.
(3) Google stores your data as a user profile and uses the data for the purpose of advertising, market research and/or demand-based design of its website. Such an analysis is conducted in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide demand-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.
(4) The legal foundation for our processing is constituted by Article 6 (1) clause 1f) GDPR. There is a legitimate interest in protecting the client’s website from automated entries (e.g. bot attacks).
(5) We do not have any influence on collected data and data processing operations, and nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purpose of processing, or storage periods. We have no information available on the deletion of collected data by the provider. If you do not want to be assigned to your Google profile, you will have to log out.
(6) You can find more detailed information on the terms of use and data privacy at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/.

XIII. Content Delivery Networks 

(1) We rely on a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for the operation of individual contents on our website. In the course of integration, large media files, such as design templates for typography, forms, buttons, tables, grid systems, and navigation and other interface design elements are downloaded from the browser as a separate file to cache. The files are loaded from a central server - connected via the Internet - to which several websites have access. A CDN has the advantage that contents can be delivered more quickly by retrieval from a central server. When you access our website, data are transmitted to the CDN. As a minimum, your IP address and the referrer URL are transferred.

(2) The use of a CDN serves to maintain the functioning of our website and provides us with support in facilitating a better user experience as a result of shorter loading times.
(3) The legal foundation for use of the service is constituted by Article 6(1) clause 1f) GDPR and our legitimate interest in rapid provision of our website and optimization of our online offer.
(4) By virtue of the employed technologies, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the server of the CDN provider. These servers may also be located outside the EU and the EEA.
(5) We do not have influence on collected data and data processing operations, and nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purpose of processing, or storage periods. We also have no information available on the deletion of collected data by the CDN provider.
(6) Common browsers provide the option in settings to block the loading of contents from the CDN (JavaScript blocker). If you do not want to transfer any data to the CDN, you can set your browser up accordingly. Alternatively, you can install a JavaScript blocker (e.g. www.noscript.net or www.ghostery.com). We would point out that in such cases the correct display and smooth functioning of our website might no longer be possible.

XIV. Social Media 

(1) You can access our website through such social-media platforms as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube or Xing. You can recognize the provider of each social media platform by its logo.
The social media logos only have links behind them. This means that when visiting our website, none of your personal data is automatically transferred to social networks. Clicking on one of the logos opens a page in a separate window and you will be transferred to that particular social network.
(2) Your data will be processed when you visit our social media channels. Click on any of the links below to find out more information on the purpose and scope of data collection, how it is processed through the social network and the ETO GRUPPE TECHNOLOGIES GmbH, and to find out information about your data privacy rights:
