FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.—The Equipment & Tool Institute (ETI) has relocated its corporate office to the metropolitan Detroit area from Marengo, Ill.
The ETI's new corporate headquarters in Farmington Hills will be the base of operations for all corporate and administrative functions. Additionally, the ETI—an association of automotive tool and equipment manufacturers, technical information providers and training organizations—hired Jean Peltier as office administrator, to assist in the day-to-day operations.
The goal behind the move, according to the ETI, is to strengthen its ties to the automotive community in the Detroit area. It also said it will continue serving its members by working together and sharing information and remaining committed to its objective of advancing the vehicle service industry by providing technical data and open dialog between the manufacturers of transportation products, government regulators and the providers of tools, equipment and service information.
“As we finalize the transition of our corporate management, we will consolidate our operations in the Detroit area to help facilitate our growing business and to continue to support our members as we move into the next stages of the association,” said Greg Potter, ETI's executive manager.
The institute's new address is: 37899 West 12 Mile Road, Suite 220, Farmington Hills, Mich. 48331.
The ETI will continue to focus on technical information, member events and its Vertical Groups (Scan Tool Group, Mechanical Systems Group, Collision Repair Group, and Shop Management and Information Software Group) and their specifically channeled interests.
