A world leader in industrial air technology

Our standing in the world of industrial air technology has led to specialist project work. This includes the design and manufacturing of a compressor weighing just 180gm, with the capacity to maintain a pressure of 38 bar, to supply the air technology for the NASA space shuttle. We also designed side channel blowers for Italy’s Eurostar speed trains, the pride of the Italian railway system. The blowers are used to equalise cabin pressure when the trains pass through tunnels.

ESAM offers more than just high-quality design and precision manufacturing.

“We are proud of our side channel blowers and compressors, but we also pride ourselves on our excellent support,” says Chief Executive Officer Greg Fox.

“We are committed to our customers enjoying their ESAM experience, from their first meeting with our representatives, through detailed technical advice before purchase, then ongoing support throughout the life of their product.”
