Mobile, AL, Sept. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- What began as Brown & Brown, a fabric and textile business founded on the Gulf Coast in 1877 and developed into Engineered Textile Fabrics in 1980, has spent nearly 150 years growing, adapting, and expanding into markets its founders could not have imagined. Today, that company — now known as Environmental Textile Products (ETP) — is marking its next chapter with a new name, a unified brand identity, and a new website at EnvironmentalTextileProducts.com.
The ETP family of brands — Environmental Textile Products, ETP Environmental, ETP ArtCraft Awnings, ETP Sports, ETP Racemarks, and ETP Industrial — united under one identity for the first time.
The formal adoption of the Environmental Textile Products name reflects the full scope of the company’s evolution over the past several decades. From its roots in cut-and-sew manufacturing, ETP has expanded to serve customers across five distinct markets: environmental and containment systems, industrial fabric solutions, ArtCraft Awnings, Racemarks, and competitive track and field through ETP Sports, a specialized brand serving the high school, collegiate, and elite racing community. The new brand unites all five divisions under one identity for the first time, giving customers and partners a clearer picture of the company’s reach and capabilities.
“This company has been in our family for five generations, and in that time, we’ve expanded into markets and capabilities that go well beyond where we started,” said Ken Robinson, owner of Environmental Textile Products. “The new name and brand reflect everything we do and everything we’ve built. We want our customers — both those who have been with us for decades and those finding us for the first time — to see the full picture of who ETP is.”
Across all five divisions, ETP designs and manufactures its products in the United States. The company’s core strength is delivering highly customized, made-to-order solutions that off-the-shelf or overseas suppliers cannot replicate — from geomembranes and floating baffles for wastewater and environmental systems to commercial awnings and custom industrial curtains. Long-tenured employees, deep technical knowledge, and a commitment to standing behind every product have defined ETP’s reputation across its markets for generations.
The new website serves as the central hub for ETP’s unified brand, featuring dedicated division pages, integrated e-commerce for ETP Sports and Racemarks products, and streamlined quote request capabilities for custom and large-format industrial work. The site was developed to serve both longtime customers and new audiences across ETP’s markets.
As ETP approaches its 150th anniversary, the Robinson family remains committed to the principles that have guided the company since its founding: quality materials, skilled American craftsmanship, and relationships built to last. The new brand reflects that continuity — and provides a foundation for the next generation of growth.
