Window fronts bedecked with ornaments. Garland and wreaths adorning a lamppost. Snowflakes and icicles shimmering on eaves, above doors festooned with candy canes and ribbons. No, we’re not talking about Bedford Falls or a quaint little inn in Vermont, but ETC’s headquarters in Middleton, WI.

Every year in December, ETC elves decorate Town Square – the factory’s main atrium designed to resemble a 1940s New York streetscape and Edward Hopper paintings – to bring loads of holiday cheer to employees and visitors. Every corner of Town Square is decked out in seasonal finery, including colorful strings of light (of course!) controlled by an ETC control system. There’s even a motorized, life-sized Santa Claus popping out of a chimney!

And it’s in this real, live snow-globe where ETC creates our award-winning product line and offers our industry-renowned customer service... year round.
