An Inside Look at ETC Headquarters with Full Compass

Written by Quinn Wirth | Sep 12, 2024 3:08:42 PM

Full Compass Systems, an ETC dealer, is located just a stone's throw away from ETC's Middleton Headquarters building. The company (which has been in business nearly as long as ETC!) is an accomplished supplier of audio, visual, and lighting equipment. When the Full Compass team asked for a behind-the-scenes tour of our Middleton factory, we knew we were in for an afternoon of fun.

Join Full Compass' Nick Marzock and ETC's Product Marketing Manager Lowell Olcott for a quick spin around the heavily themed ETC building, with a dash of ETC history along the way.

The tour starts out in ETC's iconic lobby, lovingly referred to as Town Square. Here, there are many easter eggs to uncover, much of which are inspired by American realist painter Edward Hopper. Then, get a peek at some fixtures and consoles from decades past that we have displayed in our building as a nod to where our industry has been.

Fast forward to how ETC operates today, and catch a look at the modern offices built out of shipping containers, inhabited by ETC's Marketing and Research & Development departments. Moving into our manufacturing facility, Nick and Lowell explore some of ETC's impressive assembly and paint lines. And of course, we had to take the opportunity to have some fun with moving lights in our Century Theatre.
