What Electro-Tech Systems does

Electro-Tech Systems (ETS), founded in 1976 and headquartered in Perkasie, Pennsylvania, designs and manufactures electrostatic discharge (ESD) test and measurement instruments and temperature- and humidity-controlled environmental systems for laboratory and industrial use. The portfolio spans two pillars: (1) electrostatic instrumentation including the Model 9910 PinScan automated ESD test system, Model 930D ESD Gun, M 863/6487 laboratory resistance meter (20 fA to 20 mA, IEEE-488/RS-232), Model 871 wide-range resistance meter (100 to 10^12 Ω), M 230 NanoCoulomb meter (±0.01 nC), M 880 portable autoranging resistance meter, M 828 volume resistivity test cells, Model 4406 static decay meter, M 300 electrostatic field meter, Faraday cups (M 231, M 232), Model 234 charge detector probe, Model 235 triboelectric test system, and resistance probes (Model 803B, M 842, M 844, Model 841) plus the M 848 universal handle; and (2) environmental control products including compact through extra-large gloveboxes (M 5504, M 5507, 5532, 5533, M 5515 sub-zero, M 5502 for Instron machines), PLC controllers (new M 5300 EnviroPro touchscreen with Ethernet/IP, plus legacy M 5000 Series), thermoelectric heating/cooling units (M 5477, 250–500 W, refrigerant-free), and molecular sieve/dry gas/humidification systems (M 5465, M 5461-24, M 5478-24, M 5482). Products comply with ANSI/ESD, ASTM, EIA, SAE, MIL-PRF, IEC 61340, NFPA 99, and JIS K6911 standards, and the company holds ANAB ISO 17025 accreditation.

ETS generates revenue through hardware sales (standard catalog items priced $295–$2,495; quote-based integrated systems for higher-value gloveboxes and PLC configurations), ISO 17025 accredited calibration services (resistance meters/probes, voltage meters, ESD guns/simulators, controllers/sensors), and ESD testing and consulting services (material testing, PurePulse testing, product testing, onsite consulting). Distribution runs through direct e-commerce and phone sales (833-373-4878) supplemented by a global distributor network, targeting B2B buyers across semiconductor, pharmaceutical, university/research, automotive, biomedical, military, ESD packaging, cosmetics, and industrial curing applications. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent entity, M&A activity, partnerships, or public listing.

Leadership is led by Kip Anthony as President. The firm has no disclosed management bench beyond the president and a general sales contact ([email protected]). Operating geographies are worldwide via distributor reach, with manufacturing stated to be in Pennsylvania, USA. ETS is actively operating with a functioning e-commerce website, ongoing product launches (Model 809B in 2024; M 5300 EnviroPro PLC, M 5300-24, and third-generation Model 5515 in 2025), and an active LinkedIn/Facebook presence.
