What Energy Technology & Control does

Energy Technology & Control Ltd (ETC) is a UK-based industrial technology firm founded in 1983 and headquartered in Lewes, East Sussex. The company designs, manufactures, tests, and approves electronic burner management systems and combustion control products for industrial boilers, burners, and process heating equipment. Its product portfolio is anchored by the ETC6000 Burner Management System for modulating dual-fuel burners and the ETC6300 controller for smaller single-fuel applications, supplemented by the ETC6081 oxygen trim system, the ETC6844 Plant Master multi-boiler sequencing module, the ETC6000 Remote 4G IoT monitoring system, the ETC6076 touchscreen HMI, and supporting peripherals such as flame scanners, temperature sensors, rotary actuators, and CAN hubs. All products are manufactured in Britain at the Lewes facility, with servo-motor positioning accuracy of ±0.1° replacing mechanical cam-and-linkage systems.

ETC sells primarily to burner manufacturers, boiler OEMs, and end-user industrial facilities across petrochemical, chemical processing, food processing, textile manufacturing, and power generation verticals. The go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct enterprise sales consultation with a global installation partner network for commissioning and support. Revenue is generated through two streams: hardware sales of proprietary controllers and peripheral modules, and professional services covering consultation, installation support, and ongoing technical assistance. Pricing is custom and quotation-based with multi-year contracts; no public list pricing is disclosed. The company holds CE and UL certifications and integrates with industrial protocols including Modbus RTU, Profibus, RS-485, and plant DCS and SIS systems.

The business has operated for over 40 years with a small team (11–50 employees) carrying more than 200 years of combined combustion engineering experience. In March 2026, ETC was acquired by Fireye, a global leader in flame monitoring and safeguard control, as part of a strategy to expand Fireye's burner control portfolio across commercial and industrial markets. Following the acquisition, ETC operates as a subsidiary within Fireye's product portfolio.
