From a small metal stamping facility to North America's trusted partner in electrical and lighting solutions.
In 1949, visionary entrepreneur Henry B. Etlin founded HB Etlin Co. as a metal stamping facility. What started as a single operation has evolved into a comprehensive supplier of electrical and mechanical hardware, lighting components, and cutting-edge LED solutions.
Our original building still resonates with the sounds of metal and copper being stamped into precision products for today's OEM and distribution markets. While we've expanded far beyond our stamping roots, our commitment to in-house manufacturing gives us a competitive edge with faster lead times than overseas suppliers.
Through strategic growth and unwavering dedication to quality, we've built lasting relationships with customers across North America, becoming their trusted partner for both standard products and custom-designed solutions.
