ESL to Speak at TOC Americas 2015

Lesleyanne Daniels

ESL’s President, Michael Hellmers, is proud to be speaking at 2015 TOC Americas in Panama. On Tuesday, October 13th, Hellmers will be presenting during the Tech TOC seminar that focuses on Managing New Terminal Power & Data Requirements. “As port equipment gets faster, larger, more automated and more connected, power and data transmission needs are changing. The trend to electrify cranes and mobile equipment continues to gain momentum, alongside hybrid power solutions, alternative ‘clean’ fuels and electrical shore power for vessels, driven both by environmental legislation and corporate social responsibility. At the same time, the ability to transmit large quantities of real-time data and video is increasingly becoming a standard requirement. Speakers will explore new concepts being developed and new solutions being implemented today.” – www.tocevents-americas.com

ESL Renovates to Better Serve Their Customers

Erika Thorson

 

Over the Labor Day Weekend, ESL’s team was busy completing a scheduled upgrade to the warehouse. The overhaul required that the shipping department be shut down completely, for the first time in nearly 25 years. Throughout the holiday weekend, employees worked diligently by adding new machines, re-organizing materials, and applying a brand new industrial strength epoxy flooring to the shop. By Tuesday morning, the facility was ready to go, and better prepared to operate more efficiently. This planned renovation will allow ESL to better serve customers.

To see a time lapse video of our progress, please watch this quick video. We invite you to take a virtual tour of our manufacturing facility and learn more about what sets ESL apart.

ESL Power Systems, Inc. recently added a little light to its Corona office by installing a new bright sign to the top of the building.
