ETE Reman: 2024 Highlights and Achievements

With a rich history that began in 1985, ETE Reman continues to set the standard for remanufactured transmissions in 2024. As the year winds down, we reflect on a year packed with milestones, innovation, and a renewed focus on people, production, and logistics.

Accelerating Production to Meet Demand

A keystone of our success this year is our new high-volume production line. Strategic investments in cutting-edge machinery and optimized processes have enabled us to achieve unprecedented efficiency and production capacity. Our commitment to producing transmissions that exceed OEM standards has never been stronger, with a focus on maintaining quality across all units.

We have grown our workforce to over 800 employees, each contributing skill and dedication to the line. Every team member plays a vital role, whether assembling subcomponents, reprogramming TEHCMs, or rebuilding valve bodies. Training programs like ATSG Academy equip new employees with the skills they need to succeed, driving improvements in both production quality and retention.

Logistics: Faster, Smarter, Better

This year, we revolutionized logistics to deliver transmissions faster and more efficiently. Fully stocked warehouses and optimized space across locations have reduced lead times and streamlined operations. Expanded receiving capacity and enhanced interplant transit keep our inventory moving smoothly, ensuring our customers get what they need when they need it. Our in-house box trucks now handle specialized transport with greater flexibility, while our dedicated Customer Loyalty Team ensures every experience with ETE is seamless. It’s all part of our commitment to delivering quality transmissions with speed and care.

Investing in People and Community

Our greatest asset is our people, and we remain committed to helping them thrive. Through our in-house training program, new employees build a six-speed transmission during their first week, and ongoing professional development opportunities ensure our workforce is skilled, confident, and engaged. Beyond the workplace, we give back to the Milwaukee community by partnering with local organizations and supporting events that uplift the area we proudly call home. Our dedication to people extends beyond our team—it encompasses our customers and the neighborhoods we serve, ensuring that as we grow, so does our positive impact.

Navigating the Future

Our focus remains sharp: delivering high-quality remanufactured transmissions for domestic cars, SUVs, and light trucks while staying ahead of industry trends. Our research and development efforts, supported by ATSG’s expertise, keep us ahead of the curve as we prepare for the evolving demands of complex, computerized transmissions.

With positive momentum heading into 2025, we continually strive to embody our motto: Like New, Only Better.
