FAQ Of Customer
Since our founding in 1940, ETTER Engineering has provided gas equipment and systems, originally focused in the Northeast. Over time, as ETTER expanded from a Sales Network to include Manufacturing and Products, we broadened our reach across the country and even globally. We specialize in gas-fired process heating equipment, offering custom solutions, burner parts, and complete systems. Our UL-certified panel shop and expert team support installations, upgrades, and OEM services to meet your evolving needs.
ETTER Engineering is a third-generation, family-owned industrial combustion company. Our team of 37 professionals—including fabricators, engineers, designers, service technicians, and control specialists—enables us to manage both small and large projects from concept to commissioning. We specialize in a wide range of products, from custom combustion systems to gas booster systems, as well as UL-508A control systems, to name a few. Our “daughter company,” Finishing Equipment Group, expands our offerings with TITAN Catalytic Infra-Red Ovens and NIKO Conveyors Material Handling Systems.
In addition to our product offerings, we provide "design and build" access to a UL-508A control panel shop, full combustion services, calibration capabilities, and a fully equipped test oven setup. We are committed to delivering the highest level of service and support to our clients.
ETTER’s products are built and shipped from our Bristol, CT factory and main office. We take great pride in our products, utilizing local and USA-made components to the maximum extent possible. ETTER supports and services all the products we build, focusing on the ultimate safety of operators and the performance of the equipment.
ETTER serves a wide range of industries, including:
Manufacturing
Food and Beverage
Pharmaceuticals

...just to name a few.
Most projects at ETTER have a 6 to 12-week life cycle. However, custom, larger projects may take over a year due to factors such as scale, complexity, the approval process, and the manufacturing process.
Yes, this is where ETTER shines. Our in-house talent and expertise allow us to solve even your most challenging projects. We’ve designed one-off systems for NASA and created prototype systems for customers in need of a trusted combustion partner.
