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.

In addition to this, we have developed values together with our staff that are relevant to the success of the company and to working together meaningfully. Our utmost priorities are the ETO-Team spirit, the competence and passion of our staff, and the confidence we place in our staff and our customers.
As you see, it’s not only our products that open doors – we as a company also open up an exciting and international environment with flat hierarchies to you. Have we caught your interest? Many interesting jobs are already waiting for you!

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.
Our mission
We excite customers with innovative actuators, sensors, electronics and software solutions. In top quality.
We move, measure, analyze and evaluate to achieve common success. Sustainably.
We create solutions for more safety, efficiency and ecology. By conviction.

The media converter is a module that provides interfaces to LiDAR and camera systems for aviation applications. It forms the bridge between the automotive and avionics worlds. With the new converter, automotive components can be operated in helicopters. In the overall system, it contributes to increased safety by enabling the detection of obstacles such as power lines.
The purchasing department of the ETO GRUPPE has dedicated itself to being a competent partner for all those involved in the value chain to deliver a significant and sustainable contribution to the company success of the ETO GRUPPE.
ETO’s global purchasing organisation is derived from this dedication.
Purchasing production materials is structured according to product groups and is carried out locally by the independently operating ETO sites. The job of the local purchasing organisation is to secure a constant flow of material with cost-efficient acquisition from authorised sources of supply that meet quality standards.
In doing so, central product group management guarantees a group-wide and national strategic alignment, which in particular includes the use of synergies at the individual ETO sites.
In the ETO development sites, the supplier is accompanied by a project purchaser, who supports the supplier as a central point of contact during the development phase through to series production. Here we integrate our target suppliers in the development at an early stage.
We see our target suppliers as strategic partners for joint and sustainable company success.
