ETGAR ltd. was founded in 1969 as a family business in Karmiel, in Northern part of Israel. Since its inception, ETGAR has acted as a subcontractor for precision machined parts, such as fuzes, shells, caps, and nuts made of 1144 iron, brass, stainless steel and aluminum alloys, as well as power and audio connectors for the Israel defense industry.

In 1979 the first automatic multi-spindle lathe was inaugurated and the company began to specialize in high-tech components for the automotive industry. As a Tier 2 subcontractor, the company supplied high precision pins, screws and stainless steel fittings for various automobile assemblies.

ETGAR ltd. manufactures parts made of 303, 304 and 316 stainless steel. Products include caps, nuts and couplings, military shells for connectors, fasteners and Let-Lok nuts machined on automatic multi-spindle lathes. ETGAR's long standing experience and expertise are especially demonstrated in secondary operations carried out on complex parts with CNC machines, including milling, broaching, punching, slotting, drilling, taping etc.

In 1984 the first export deliveries of connectors to the USA opened a new era of subcontracting activities. The company expanded its capabilities and know-how to the manufacture of tube and pipe fittings and corrosion resistant nuts for the semiconductor industry and other industries, which require high performance tube fittings for flow, pressure and temperature control.

In April 2008 a group of investors bought 70% of the company shares with a vision to expand the company’s export business and use its know-how in additional areas of metal working.
