Company History
In 1913, ESCO was established under the name Electric Steel Foundry in Portland, Oregon USA. The company was established by businessman Charles (C.F.) Swigert who saw a need for a local source of steel castings.
During the 1920s, the company expanded production to include cast steel alloy products. Implementation of Hadfield manganese steel and production of dragline buckets fueled further growth. The “ESCO” trademark was first used in 1926 and eventually became the company’s new name.
Over the years, ESCO has continued to evolve and innovate, with an ever-expanding array of products to serve the energy, mining, construction, defense, aerospace and forestry industries. As ESCO celebrates 100+ years, its operations have grown exponentially. The company operates on six continents, in 28 countries, supplying ESCO branded products through a global distribution network.
