We LOVE everything about Ettore. A family business of multiple generations, started by a hardworking, first-generation immigrant, Ettore Products company has tradition worth celebrating. Did you know Ettore celebrated 80 years of operation a few years ago? Here are the top 3 reasons why we think Ettore is worth celebrating:
- Tradition of quality – Right from the beginning, the company was founded on the concept of offering the best quality product to customers. Located in California, Ettore still manufactures many of their products right here in the USA. In many ways, Ettore continues to have success because of the quality of the Ettore squeegee rubber. Each rubber continues to be inspected for quality. Ettore ensures the performance of their world-renowned rubber will be flawless for every customer. Building off of the quality of the Ettore rubber, the entire product line is built to satisfy the demands of the professional window cleaning contractor.
- It’s all in the family – STILL! Growing from a vision and passion of Ettore Stecconne, the company continues to be owned and directed by the family. Some days, you can actually speak with Ettore Stecconne’s daughter when you call in to customer service. We think this is important because the family’s name is still on every product they sell. The family has always had a passion for serving the professional window cleaners as well. They like nothing better than finding a window cleaner that has used their quality squeegee and rubber for decades. From conversations with the Ettore team, I can tell you that they enjoy knowing that their product has helped window cleaners to provide decades of clean glass for smiling customers. Can you even imagine how many millions of windows have been cleaned with Ettore squeegees? For more detailed history about the founder of Ettore Products, check out this link.
- Support of the window cleaning industry – It is clear that the Ettore team wants to encourage and grow the professional window cleaning trade over the years. Nearly 3 decades ago, Ettore Products was one of the forces behind the founding of the International Window Cleaning Association, www.IWCA.ORG. Every year, Ettore continues to support the education of window cleaners. Nowadays, you will find versions of the Ettore products in many locations for sale. However, with all of the incredible growth of this distribution, Ettore continues to support independent sellers like us here at Detroit Sponge to service the truly professional users of their product. We are very proud to be one of their larger stocking dealers of the professional window cleaning tools. As a matter of fact, Ettore presented Detroit Sponge with an amazing commemorative squeegee and certificate of appreciation during their 80-year anniversary celebration. The support and passion for the pro window cleaner runs deep in the Ettore team.
The success of the Ettore Products company is truly based on quality products and flawless performance. With that in mind, here are 7 of the professional window cleaners favorite Ettore tools:
