WHAT WE DO
Custom Heavy Equipment Electronics Contract Manufacturing Partner
Built for strength. Trusted to deliver.
In heavy equipment electronics manufacturing, there’s no room for failure. You need components that work as hard as the machines they power. That’s where we come in.
For over 40 years, we’ve been the disciplined, no-BS manufacturing partner that keeps production lines moving and equipment working in the field.
At ETI/ACH, we don’t just build wire harness assemblies, printed circuit board assemblies, and electro-mechanical box builds—we build reliability. Our components power the toughest machinery out there, from bridge-building behemoths to the rigs that harvest potatoes in Idaho. A bad harness isn’t just a nuisance—it’s costly downtime, lost productivity, and a machine that’s dead in the dirt. When every minute counts, you need a partner that delivers flawless execution, every time.
- Customizable to fully meet your specifications and standards
- Tailored components ensure superior performance, efficiency, and durability reducing operating, maintenance, and replacement costs over time
- Trusted supply chain partner with sophisticated, integrated capabilities
- ISO 9001:2015 quality management
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Support for Heavy Equipment Electronics
Heavy equipment systems require rugged, reliable electronic assemblies — from robust heavy equipment wiring harness designs to complex control assemblies that operate in harsh environments. As a trusted partner in manufacturing heavy equipment electronics and heavy equipment cable assemblies, we work directly with engineering teams to refine designs early so they’re optimized for efficient production, durability, and long-term performance.
Our DFM support for heavy equipment electronics includes:
- Reviewing wiring harness layouts, connector selections, and cable routing for serviceability and reliability
- Identifying risks related to environmental stresses such as vibration, moisture, and temperature extremes
- Supporting seamless transitions from prototype builds to repeatable, scalable production
By bringing manufacturability insights into the design process, we help reduce production challenges, improve product consistency, and ensure your heavy equipment assemblies are built for demanding field use.

WHY US?
Why ETI for Heavy Equipment Electronics Manufacturing
Complex Harnesses Require Specialized Expertise
Our customers can count on the integrity of each and every wire harness assembly. Harnesses for heavy equipment are often large, complex, and require skilled technicians, strict process controls, and the ability to interpret detailed assembly prints. Their weight demands specialized handling and packaging. Most also involve multiple disciplines, including braiding, ultrasonic welding, butt splicing, wire marking, labeling, pull testing, and continuity testing.
An Integrated Solution for Heavy Equipment
For over 40 years, we’ve been the disciplined, no-BS manufacturing partner that keeps production lines moving and equipment working in the field.
ETI offers a comprehensive range of services under one roof, including PCB assembly, custom wire harnesses, and box build solutions.
Certifications & Compliance
Quality and safety are paramount in the heavy machinery industry. ETI/ACH are ISO 9001:2015 certified, ensuring that every product meets stringent quality management standards. Additionally, we are fully compliant with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) regulations, supporting environmentally responsible manufacturing practices.
Advanced Capabilities
ETI leverages cutting-edge technology to ensure the highest level of precision and reliability.
