The company enables its clients to innovate, integrate and iterate products by leveraging information integration and analytics, process automation, and best-in-class support services. The company also helps customers optimize profits and production processes by integrating controls with their existing MES / ERP systems to achieve performance gains.

Since its inception in 1981, ESE has been at the forefront of delivering advanced plant automation systems.

ESE’s extensive experience in the high sanitary requirements of egg and dairy plant automation has been a plus point in tackling challenges associated with the food and beverage industry. Backed by a team of process experts, the company helps clients meet the challenges with innovative process automation, information solutions, and facility modernization services.

Some of the industries served by ESE include dairy, flavors and ingredients, eggs, and brewery and winery, among others.

ESE helps in meeting the demands for real, all-natural dairy foods by providing manufacturers with a variety of services that includes the installation of a plant that produces milk, cheese, ice cream, yogurt and more, thereby ensuring consumers get healthy options without giving up on taste. The company also addresses the growing trends of the flavor and ingredients market by providing an extensive range of process automation and system integration services related to batch processes, blend processes, fluid processes, lot tracking, and process retrofits.

Apart from this, ESE has more than 20 years of working experience in the brewery and winery industry. ESE has developed partnerships with leading manufacturers in craft brewing, micro brewing, regional operations and national beer production houses over the years. The company was approached by a major craft brewery to provide a flexible control solution. ESE enhanced a batch engine to achieve greater dynamic output, providing the brew master full control of the system, be it manual, semi-automatic, or automatic modes. It also allowed him to effectively produce large volumes of mainstay beers and maintain the product consistency and quality consumers require.

ESE’s dynamic team of engineers is led by company CEO Keith Fraleigh, who came onboard last year.
