The ETO GRUPPE has been developing and manufacturing commercial vehicle components for medium-duty and heavy-duty commercial vehicles (MD and HD trucks) for more than 75 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.
Whether it’s hydraulic systems, pneumatic production and automation technologies or large diesel engines: 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 more than 75 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.

ETO – ENGINEERING THE PLANET
In 1948, Christa and Dr Hermann Laur founded Elektroteile GmbH Oberuhldingen (ETO). On 21 January 1968, the couple ensured the continuation of their company by establishing the Christa and Hermann Laur-Stiftung, into which they incorporated ETO.
Today, the ETO GRUPPE is an internationally successful company. Twelve international companies are combined under the roof of ETO GRUPPE TECHNOLOGIES GmbH.
At ETO, quality means that our customers, suppliers, staff and business partners can always rely on us no matter what.
Since 1948, we have been creating inspiring products that meet the high demands of our customers. We set ourselves new market challenges on a daily basis and put our quality philosophy successfully into practice at all ETO sites. Thanks to the ETO GRUPPE’s global presence, we are familiar with the VDA and AIAG standards.
Our values and our company philosophy support our commitment to a zero-error strategy and our constant focus on quality in all business processes. Every one of our employees understands and lives by our quality standards. This understanding is achieved through an interdisciplinary, global cooperation between all fields. Quality is the result of our functioning and active company processes. We rely on the responsibility and competence of all our staff.
ETO is certified in line with all common quality management systems and automotive-specific standards. The development of these standards and the certifications help us to continually improve existing company processes.

We are foundation-owned
The ETO GRUPPE is financially strong and independent. Our founders laid the cornerstone for this with their foundation: The Christa und Hermann Laur-Stiftung is and always will be the owner of the ETO GRUPPE.
This guarantees that the company group will always remain independent.
The ETO GRUPPE offers its partners, customers and employees unique reliability and sustainable security.
We are the benchmark
Today, there is no way of avoiding our products when it comes to commercial vehicles: By far the majority of actuators and sensors installed in trucks are ETO-made. Our products are in virtually every vehicle produced by the most prominent truck manufacturers. The quality, reliability, stability, precision and security of our solutions set the cross-industry standard on an international level.
We shape the future
Our many patents represent our own intensive research and development. Thanks to this, we’re always one step ahead: we strive for even better products, lower weight, smaller installation spaces, less energy consumption, more sustainable material, longer service life and even newer solutions. High investment in our own research and development guarantees the tremendous innovative strength of ETO GRUPPE.
We don’t recreate
Our promise: We offer more quality, reliability, stability, security, economy, comfort and efficiency. As a basic rule, we want to keep being better, more innovative, faster and more efficient. This claim can only be fulfilled if nothing is copied; instead, everything is developed and manufactured in-house from the get-go, for every customer and every requirement.
We take responsibility
The social commitment of all companies in the ETO GRUPPE is specified clearly as one of the
most important objectives in the mission statement of our owner, the Christa und Hermann Laur-Stiftung. This active corporate responsibility to our workforce leads in turn to extraordinary motivation from every single employee and thus contributes to our success.
