Looking back over the past 50 years, ETC is proud to have made such an impact on the industries we serve. As we’ve grown, we’ve continued to be inspired by those who bring the arts to their communities. Whether you are lighting theatres, bridges, or aquariums…
whether you’re working weekdays or weekends… whether you design, program, install, or teach… we do what we do for you. ETC promises that over the next 50 years we will continue to embrace innovation, provide industry-leading service, stay at the forefront
of technology, and bring you products that make your work not only more fun, but also more efficient. Thank you for your support over our first 50 – we can’t wait to see what you create over the next 50!

innovative solutions and products ... but what does that really mean? And how does it all work together? This seven-part video series helps explain just that, providing an overview of each different category of ETC products and how they fit
