Custom Engineering & Automation Solutions for Manufacturing
ESE was founded in 1999 with a clear mission: to deliver precision-engineered automation solutions for manufacturing challenges. Over 25 years, we've grown twentyfold while maintaining our commitment to innovation and client-specific design. Our expertise spans robotic integration, custom machine development, and advanced workholding systems tailored for automotive and marine industries. As a Fanuc Robotics Authorized System Integrator, we combine industry-leading technology with in-house engineering excellence. Our team's deep experience in SolidWorks 3D modeling and control system design enables us to transform complex requirements into efficient production solutions. Through our long-standing partnership with Kettering University's co-op program, we cultivate engineering talent while maintaining fresh perspectives on manufacturing innovation.Every project benefits from our comprehensive capabilities in material handling automation, special machine design, and precision gage development. Our 20,000 sq ft facility in Lapeer, Michigan supports complete turnkey system implementation, from concept through installation. We maintain rigorous quality standards through advanced prototyping services and CMM verification processes. Our clients trust us to optimize production workflows with customized automation components, including servo/pneumatic systems and intelligent conveying solutions. With decades of combined experience, our engineers bring both technical mastery and practical insight to every manufacturing challenge. Our approach balances cutting-edge technology with proven methodologies to deliver reliable, scalable automation solutions.

Services
Special Machines
We design high-volume production machines for specialized manufacturing processes. Our capabilities include automated assembly systems, inspection equipment, and custom fixturing solutions. Using Siemens and Allen-Bradley PLC programming, we deliver turnkey systems with full installation and training support for automotive and marine component production.
Workholding Fixtures
Our hydraulic and pneumatic clamping fixtures ensure precision in machining operations. We create manual and automated fixtures compatible with horizontal and vertical machining centers using 3-5 axis configurations. These solutions improve production efficiency while maintaining dimensional accuracy for complex workpieces.
Custom Gages
We develop automated and semi-automated gaging systems for quality control. Our solutions include post-process feedback systems, variable/attribute gages, and visual inspection systems using industrial cameras. These tools ensure consistent part quality through precise dimensional verification.
Prototyping
Our prototyping services include machining from castings or billet stock with CMM verification. We produce functional prototypes for design validation and pre-production testing. This process ensures dimensional accuracy and functional performance before full-scale manufacturing begins.
SolidWorks 3D Modeling
We provide comprehensive 3D modeling services using SolidWorks software. Our deliverables include detailed 2D drawings and digital models for manufacturing. This service extends to industrial control panel design, ensuring seamless integration with automation systems.
