EBBCO INC

Since 1983, Ebbco Inc. has evolved from a Detroit based industrial distributor dealing in fluid filters of all types, to a leading international company with a market focus on the metalworking industry. Ebbco sells to end‐users through an extensive North American distribution system and direct to OEM's to keep initial acquisition costs low. As our company has evolved, it has become clear that the three elements of primary importance to us are our customers, our employees and our suppliers.

First and foremost, Ebbco's goal is to supply our customers with state‐of‐the‐art, innovative metalworking filtration products that are easy to use and cost effective. One of our primary strengths is to determine what the industry needs and to engineer our products to meet those needs. Simultaneously, Ebbco strives to provide its employees with career positions that are both personally and financially rewarding. It is management's policy to solicit input from all employees in the process of manufacturing and distributing products to our industry. With an eye to excellence, management openly encourages all employees to further their education in their selected field, whether it be professional or technical. With all that in mind, the company utilizes the facilities of Macomb Community College and has developed a specialized technical program for electricians, pipe‐fitters, riggers and welders. The results are certifications tailored to our industries' needs. This ensures the fulfillment of long term employment to our employees and state‐of‐the‐art products to our customers. The third element of our pyramid of excellence is identifying and maintaining quality vendors and products. Ebbco works closely with all of its vendors developing specifications for the products we purchase. While we purchase engineered products to fit certain applications, Ebbco closely monitors these products and modifies them where necessary. Ebbco also develops and patents new technologies for our vendors to utilize in the manufacture of our products. It is of paramount importance that our relationship with our vendors is mutually beneficial. This partnership of our customers, employees and vendors has produced the market leader that Ebbco is today.
