Trusted by industry leaders

Water authorities, miners, utilities, universities and government agencies across Australia run ESS instruments in the field.

The ESS group

One company behind every division

Four specialist divisions, one solution provider. Whichever name is on the instrument, it comes from the same Melbourne workshop, the same calibration lab and the same engineers who answer the phone.
