Equipment and Tool Institute launches Inventors Hub

April 1, 2011
Site offers inventors, technicians and engineers chance to share their ideas with automotive manufacturers and distributors.

The Equipment and Tool Institute has launched the Inventors Hub on their website, www.etools.org.

The site is for inventors, technicians and engineers interested in the opportunity to share their ideas with the key manufacturers and distributors of automotive tools and equipment. Inventors can go on the website and submit their patented ideas for review by ETI’s member companies.

ETI Member Companies will be able to evaluate the submissions and contact inventors directly if they are interested in pursuing the idea. This gives ETI Member Companies the chance to hear from inventors, technicians, and engineers who may have solutions to tool and equipment problems they may be experiencing, an idea for a tool that doesn’t exist or a way to improve an existing tool.

“ETI’s Inventors Hub serves as a conduit between automotive tool inventors and our member companies that manufacture and distribute tools and equipment to assess innovative ideas and develop new tools for the automotive industry. This is a valuable opportunity for both sides to develop a product that may save time and eliminate frustration”, said Jessie Korosec, ETI Marketing Manager.

For more information, contact Jessie Korosec, Marketing Manager, Equipment and Tool Institute, 134 W. University Drive, Suite 205, Rochester, Michigan. Phone: 248-656-5080; Fax: 603-971-2375; e-mail: [email protected].
