Turbine Technologies

The ESCO Story In 1913 C.F. Swigert decided to solve his own problem. Availability of replacement parts for the Portland trolley cars he owned was limited, so he started the Electric Steel Foundry (now ESCO) in order to make what he needed. Business quickly expanded to include proprietary products for the logging industry and the company thrived by designing several patented steel wearparts for industrial machinery. Building on nearly a century of innovation, ESCO Corporation is a global manufacturer of metal parts and components for industrial applications. An entrepreneurial spirit, an obsession with innovation (over 300 patents), a family environment and a can-do attitude characterize the culture of ESCO. This culture has enabled the company to use its considerable manufacturing, metallurgical and engineering skills to become a worldwide, competitive force. ESCO Corporation s commitment to quality products, customer service and ethical business practices has been the cornerstone of its reputation and relationships. Whether delivering earthmoving products for mining and construction; dredge products to dig the Suez and Panama Canals; or turbine components for aerospace and power generation; ESCO takes great pride in exceeding customers expectations.
