about
We are a family owned company with more than a hundred years experience in the water business with its headquarter near Munich, Germany. Currently business is conducted by the fourth and fifth generation of the Etschel family. What started out as a drilling business ( Etschel&Meyer later on E+M) back in 1919, diversified further into submersible pump manufacturing in 1949 (EMU).Both companies were sold in the early beginnings of the 20th century. Since then we focus on water well service with our daughter company Etschel Brunnenservice GmbH which is active in Germany and throughout the world. Furthermore we hold several international trademarks and patents on our self developed technologies.
