E Tech Announces Name Changes for its Family of Brands

Banks Integration, E Technologies, Glenmount Global and Superior Controls all renamed as E Tech Group. West Chester, OH – January 2023 – E Tech Group announced today that all of its brands: Banks Integration, E Technologies, Glenmount Global, and Superior Controls, have been renamed as E Tech Group.   E Tech Group acquired Glenmount Global in 2018, acquiring Superior Controls and its subsidiary Banks Integration the following year. Since these acquisitions, E Tech Group has been operating as one entity while migrating these legacy brands over to the E Tech name. “This name change is an important step forward as one of the nation’s largest automation engineering and system integration firms,” said Matt Wise, Chief Executive Officer of E Tech Group. “Each of these brands held a legacy of excellence within their focused industries; however, on their own were limited in capability through size and geographic reach. As one company, E Tech Group embodies the same best-in-class service that they continue to provide, with the added benefit of multi-disciplined resources located throughout North America and a strong organizational structure that enables us to partner with clients from the local to corporate level.” What Does E Tech Group’s Name Change Mean? This name change represents our growth; merging these brands under one umbrella creates a stronger E Tech Group, which means more resources for more clients, and improved capabilities in our custom control system services: While this brand update reflects a shift in how services are presented, the underlying goal is to create a more consistent experience across projects. Aligning naming, structure, and service offerings helps reduce confusion when coordinating work across teams, locations, and disciplines. For clients, this means clearer communication around scope, more consistent documentation, and better alignment between engineering, implementation, and support. Instead of navigating multiple legacy brand … Continued
