In the business world, 150 years is an eternity. Very few companies survive five generations of technological shifts, global changes, and economic cycles. Since 1877, we haven’t just survived; we’ve evolved.
We know that this kind of longevity doesn’t happen in a vacuum. We owe this milestone to the customers who have trusted us with their visions, the employees whose master craftsmanship has defined our quality, and the partners who have stood by us through every “mental puzzle” we’ve solved. 150 years isn’t just a number on a calendar—it is a testament to the integrity and grit of the community we serve.
While our initials — ETP — remain the same, our name is evolving to better reflect the work we do every day: providing custom-designed shields that manage the friction between your assets and the environment. Our name is our commitment to the next 150 years—ensuring that our five divisions are equipped with the modern identity required to lead the world’s most demanding projects.
A heritage this deep deserves more than a name change—it deserves a celebration. In June of 2027, we will be hosting an anniversary event to honor the people who made this century-and-a-half possible.
We are planning an evening that pays tribute to our Mobile roots, our five-generation family legacy, our employees, and the partners who continue to push us toward excellence.
Teaser: More information regarding the June 2027 celebration—including venue details and official invitations—will be arriving soon.
While we take this moment to look back at our heritage, our eyes are fixed firmly on the horizon. Our goal for the next 150 years remains unchanged: To get it right for our customers. We will continue to serve our community with integrity, lead with master fabrication, and maintain a relentless willingness to evolve. We’ve spent 150 years building the world’s most reliable shields, and we’re just getting started.
