Custom Controls and Sensors

Since 2001, ETC has specialized in designing, building, testing, and manufacturing electronic controls and sensors for the oil and gas industry. These products must not only be low power, wide temperature range, and approved for hazardous locations, they must also be incredibly rugged and reliable.
