About ETO GRUPPE
ETO GRUPPE, headquartered in Stockach, develops and produces electromagnetic drive components, sensors, electronics and software for the control and regulation of highly dynamic processes in mobility, automotive engineering and industrial plants. The portfolio includes actuators, electromagnets (including regulating, proportional, push/pull and injector magnets), solenoid valves for hydraulic and pneumatic systems as well as pressure sensors, speed sensors, inductive displacement transducers (LVDT) and position switches. In addition, system modules are developed as integrated solutions, along with electronics and, since 2019, software and products for e-mobility. With around 2,000 employees at ten international locations in Germany, Poland, the USA, China, India and Mexico, the company supplies industries such as automotive, commercial vehicles, industrial, plant engineering, medical technology, energy technology, rail transport and aviation. The company operates as ETO GRUPPE TECHNOLOGIES GmbH with the companies ETO MAGNETIC (Stockach), EKS Elektromagnetik (Vaihingen/Enz) and ETO SENSORIC (Nuremberg); the owner is the Christa and Hermann Laur Foundation.
