Electro Standards Laboratories
In a world crowded with thousands of companies and consultants calling themselves communication or control specialists, Electro Standards Laboratories is truly unique. At ESL, they have the ability to work from theory to product or service design to manufacturing and installation. Their solutions are based on more than thirty years of technological experience and thousands of real world applications.
Founded in 1976, ESL is an engineering, design and manufacturing company whose initial product line included data cables, data switches, breakout boxes and other products for the budding data/telecommunication industry.
As more companies entered the data/telecommunication supplier industry, competition became more intense, but ESL's agility, quality work and innovative products allowed more than survival — the company experienced growth.
In 1998, ESL expanded its facility to accommodate its current business areas including research and development, network services, engineering, instrumentation and material testing, motor and motion control, switches, cables, sharers, breakout boxes and surge protectors.
Today, ESL product lines are data communication and computer interconnection cables including fiber optics, all communication interface switches —both manual and remotely controllable, materials test instrumentation such as tensile testers that are voice activated and controlled, load cell electronics and contract manufacturing.
ESL's research and development group addresses digital signal processor based electronics, mechanics, software programming, electric motor systems, hybrid electric vehicle technology, linear motors, motor test technology, power electronics, communications, web-enabled systems, graphical user interface programming and fiber optics.
The network services and installation group goes on-site to assist its customers in workstation layout and cable installation. From cabling one printer to wiring entire local area networks, ESL's field service team combines expert engineering support with expert engineering support with quality-minded and professional, installation technicians.
Having its own manufacturing facility gives ESL a tremendous advantage. ESL engineers can design and build custom products when needed to meet their customers' requirements. This guarantees functionality and performance, and ensures unsurpassed quality control, cost-effectiveness and on-time delivery. Customers can speak directly to ESL design engineers to ensure all performance requirements are met.
ESL's manufacturing facility produces top-quality products including custom data cables, complex data communication switch systems, state-of-the-art materials testers with sophisticated software, microprocessor based data acquisition instrumentation, contract electronic assembly and wire harness work, and prototypes of new products.
It's no wonder ESL's accomplishments have gained international attention. The ESLTest II voice-activated Tensile Tester was featured on the cover of Adhesives and Sealants magazine, while the remote web-based Motor Testing and Development Platform was featured on the cover of Sensors Magazine. ESL continues to grow by attracting top-level employees and by staying on the cutting-edge of new technology.
