Old Values, New Ideas

Instruction Manual

IP-Mini Rear Feed Applicator

Thank you for purchasing
an ETCO product!

At ETCO we believe that old values and customer service
should still be the rule.

The mergers of today seem to have created companies that
operate as if their needs supersede those of the customers. At
ETCO no one will put you into voicemail unless you request it.
At ETCO you will not be put on hold for more then 15 seconds
without us checking back with you. At ETCO we won’t take an
order unless we can guarantee on time delivery and exact con­formance to your requirements. At ETCO all managers are
accessible and will call you back.

The founders of ETCO had very basic values based on integrity.
Today we still live by those values. Please feel free to call us if
you have a question;
I promise you a human will answer.
