Our Beliefs

ETM Manufacturing started in 1969 as a custom machine shop with a single piece of equipment. Since then, we have grown to provide large-scale, custom sheet metal and machining fabrication for a wide variety of customers. 50+ years after the start in that small garage, we still believe that great results only come from being a great partner for our customers, a great employer for our staff and a great member of the local community we call home.

Doug and Betsy Scheffel purchased ETM Manufacturing in May, 2018, from it’s second owner.  We are dedicated to the values of quality, teamwork, and excellence that underlie everything we do. That means that our focus in these first few years of ownership has been on getting to know our customers and our team.  

  • We have instituted thoughtful quality and inspection processes.  
  • We have implemented enhanced benefits and rewards for our employees. 
  • We have begun what we hope will be an ever growing commitment to our local community through holiday giving and sponsorship of high school robotics teams.

A highlight of our first year of operation was the opportunity to meet Ed McLaughlin who founded ETM Manufacturing in his garage all those years ago. We got to hear first hand about his experience and to learn “Ed’s Rules” that came to guide the way he made decisions and ran the business.

Never Stop Learning. ETM Manufacturing is a learning organization. That means that we are always reviewing what we do, asking questions, and striving to improve. We learn from our customers, from outside resources and from each other. We are committed to getting better at delivering great results every day.

Team. Customers. Community. At ETM Manufacturing – we win together.
