About Us
ESC History & Company Overview
Electrol Specialties Company is an employee-owned manufacturer specializing in custom stainless steel systems, sanitary process equipment, CIP systems, spray devices, utility panels, and process design support for pharmaceutical, biotech, dairy, food, industrial, and aerospace applications.
Dale Seiberling was one of the founding owners of ESC and was referred to by many as the “father of CIP”. Dale began his career in 1955, where he was an instructor while completing his graduate studies at The Ohio State University. He then became an engineering consultant to develop and commercialize automated dairy process integrated with Clean-In-Place (CIP), and subsequently carried that technology to many other industries that benefitted from the increased product quality resulting from cleanable and hygienic design.
Since 1950, ESC has combined engineering, fabrication, inspection, and validation support to deliver high-quality custom systems for regulated and high-performance environments.
The company quality policy follows and operates along ISO guidelines to support its global sales efforts.
