Etrol launches design and development service - Mar 2010.

In line with our continuing drive to expand the business, Etrol has launched a design, development and manufacturing service. Over many years and particularly during the development of our latest product range we have built up a large body of technical knowledge. Concentrating on small to medium size projects within the embedded electronic control market our aim it to assist companies to leverage thier technical advantage in an increasingly competitive market.

The website will shortly be updated to provide full information. Until then here are the main services we are offering.

  • Close liason with the customer to help define the project design requirements.
  • Rapid response design facilities including:
    • Full featured Analogue and digital circuit design.
    • Software creation.
    • PCB layout with all surface mount and through hole options.
    • Full prototyping with proof of operation.
  • Low to medium volume production (here in the south east of England).

Annual customer conference - Oct 2009.

This weekend Etrol held its annual customer conference. Discussions were very much focused on the future with the general conclusion being that it all looked very bright indeed. The conference was sponsored by one of Etrol's most valued customers, Spedo UK Ltd at their busy head quarters in rural Norfolk. All at Etrol would like to extend a very big thank you for the superb hospitality provided throughout the event.


Loan scheme introduced - Aug 2009.

Etrol have implemented a loan scheme to allow customers to fully evaluate an E-Node system with no obligation and no cost. The loan is backed by free software and technical support. Systems are built to customers requirements and loaned for an agreed period of time. All we ask is that the system be returned in a fully working condition when the evaluation is complete.
