PRESS RELEASE - Sarasota Herald Tribune; Providence Journal

David Dunn, Chairman, ETCO Incorporated, is pleased to announce the appointment of Ralph Jacques of Sarasota, Florida to the position of Director of ETCO’s Research and Development facility in Sarasota, Florida. Ralph was the director of manufacturing research and his new position will encompass both product and manufacturing research.

He succeeds Dennis Herdegen of Sarasota, Florida who has decided to pursue a longtime desire to teach and work with young people in the Sarasota school system. We thank Dennis for initiating ETCO’s research efforts and setting up our fine facility in Sarasota. We wish him well in his new endeavor.

Before transferring to Florida and ETCO Research, Ralph was tool room supervisor at ETCO Engineered Products division in Warwick, Rhode Island. His design capabilities and manufacturing advancements were instrumental in bringing ETCO to its world class stamping capability.

With the competition that faces manufacturing today, ETCO management feels the best way to maintain our edge is to develop new products and more efficient manufacturing techniques. Incorporating these advancements, Ralph will work closely with our Automotive Products division in Bradenton, Florida, run by Robert Altomonte of Longboat Key, Florida, and our Engineered Products division in Warwick, Rhode Island, run by Stephen Segerson of Warwick, Rhode Island and John Stiness of Barrington, Rhode Island. ETCO currently ships to customers in the United States and 20 foreign countries.
