Meet the Team
-
FOUNDED IN 1995
ETT was founded by Richard Everingham and Leon Bothma, who worked together at a construction and forestry equipment manufacturer in Richards Bay, South Africa, where they headed up the Research and Development Engineering, and Prototype Manufacturing functions respectively.
After a few years it became clear that something special could be created by leveraging the combination of Richard’s industry knowledge and machine design expertise and Leon’s mastery of specialized manufacturing processes.
And ETT was created – a specialist engineering company with a leadership team wholly committed to the mission ahead.

REPUTABLE WITH OEMS
The ETT brand soon became the “go to” engineering company for African mining and construction original equipment distributors and dealers when they needed professionally engineered special vehicle solutions and rapid manufacturing turnaround times.
ETT’s reputation for innovation and high-quality products grew steadily and today, relationships with OEM dealers extends across the globe. Our products are carefully engineered to fit and operate with all major OEM brands such as Volvo, Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi and Bell.

ALUMINUM SMELTER SUPPORT VEHICLES
A program to develop a range of aluminum smelter support vehicles and metal mill slag pot carriers utilizing articulated dump truck power heads proved to be extremely successful. This range of equipment remains key to our product range today.

INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE
During recent years ETT has started receiving inquiries from outside the African continent including North, Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Australia. This has seen the expansion of our product range to include larger rigid water trucks, service trucks and large mining lowbed trailers for off-highway application. The association with leading OEMs has led to our global product footprint in over 28 countries on all continents.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION FIRST
Our passion at ETT has been built on designing and engineering world-class products. These have become our life blood, but we know that without satisfied customers our products are just products. We are acutely mindful of the fact that customers have placed their faith in us to support their quest to meet their business needs and expectations. This trust has been hard earned over almost 30 years and that is why we will continue to put customer satisfaction as our key priority!
