ESL Renovates to Better Serve Their Customers

September 29, 2015September 29, 2015Erika 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.

September is National Emergency Preparedness Month

August 28, 2015August 28, 2015Erika Thorson

All throughout the month of September the Federal Emergency Management Agency is promoting National Preparedness Month in an effort to help mitigate the impact of potential disasters. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is asking all of us to take action immediately by making a plan for your business, your community, your family, and for your pets. FEMA and other government agencies have a number of resources available to us, including helpful materials on their website, to help you plan how to effectively communicate and stay safe during disasters.

Depending on what region of the country you live in, disaster preparedness needs can vary from one area to the next. For example, some areas are more prone to flooding than they are to earthquakes, so it is important to be knowledgeable about the potential disasters that may affect where you live. Tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, fires and other disasters are often unpredictable. No matter where you live, there are a few steps that should be taken to help you and be prepared for emergency situations.

ESL Featured in Business Energy Magazine

ESL Business Energy Switchgear Article — ESL was featured in a recent edition of Business Energy Magazine

ESL was recently featured in Business Energy Magazine. “Switchgear: Matters of Safety and Space” addressed the various concerns of businesses as they work to ensure that their electrical equipment is as safe as possible.

The article highlighted some of the benefits of using ESL’s TripleSwitch as an emergency backup power solution. Many times, during emergencies, a qualified electrician will not be available, as they struggle to meet the increased need that inevitably follows a crisis. “In place of using lug nuts to pinch raw wire endings, ESL provides cam-style connectors that resemble microphone cords. This lets workers pop connections in and out without cranking lug nuts or fraying wire ends,” which means that anyone can safely operate the unit.
