Brief ETI history
During the second year of World War II, the War Production Board formed an advisory council that consisted of about roughly 20 equipment and tool manufacturers. It wasn’t long after that those involved found it to be very beneficial to work together.
In the spring of 1947, a group of approximately 50 tool and equipment manufactures met in Atlantic City to discuss how to continually promote the interests of equipment and tool manufacturers. This meeting ultimately led the way for Equipment and Tool Institute.
