🎉🎉🎉We celebrates 40 years of innovation 🎉🎉🎉

From a patent on hydraulic connections to an established global leader in innovative precision clamping solutions. This year, the Swedish-founded company ETP Transmission AB celebrates 40 years of innovation and continues to deliver unique products to clients all over the world.

ETP Transmission is at the forefront of hydraulic clamping and centring products, with developments in three key areas: power transmission, woodworking, and metalworking. These advancements are represented under the ETP® and ETP Hydro-Grip® trademarks, all founded on hydraulic principles.

This year, ETP Transmission celebrates 40 years as a company, but in fact, the history goes back a few years before that.

It all started with the Swedish engineer and inventor Kjell Landaeus applying for a patent for hydraulic connections in 1972, introducing a novel way to attach objects to a shaft using a pressure medium, a significant departure from traditional methods. Kjell Landaeus had worked on the product for over three years and collaborated with a man called Börje Peterson from the business network FFV (Förenade Fabriksverken). The network focused on manufacturing and management of military workshops and factories and was very interested in Kjell’s unique invention as they saw usage of it within their own business. When the patent was approved FFV bought it, and together with Börje Peterson, they developed the idea into a commercial product and later on into a new company - ETP Transmission AB.

“When I first applied for the patent I was so nervous, even though I had applied for patents before. It was something special with this product, and once I got the patent I almost couldn’t believe it. It was so important, both for me and FFV, that we could protect the product since we had something very unique. I haven’t been involved in the company for many years now, but it feels good to know that my innovation was the starting point, and it has been exciting to follow their journey”, Kjell Landaeus says.
