ETCO, Incorporated is a privately held, American Company based in Bradenton, Florida. Founded in 1947, it is now one of the oldest privately held manufacturing corporations in the United States. Some of ETCO's major areas of operation include manufacturing of wall socket, auto parts, custom metal parts, precision metal stampings for appliances and other metal based products. In 2011, it merged operations of its North and South divisions while maintaining two autonomous manufacturing locations based in Warwick, Rhode Island, and Bradenton, Florida.
ETCO's products can be found in electronic home appliances sold by several major appliance manufacturers. The products can also be found in cars sold by automotive manufacturers as well as medical and telecommunications companies.
ETCO remains a family-owned business, as descendants of the founder (from the Dunn Family) own over 85% of the company. As a result, most of its growth has been due to reinvestment of the company's own earnings rather than public financing.
