CORPORATE PROFILE –
FUME FILTRATION
DIVISION
A History of Clean Air Device
Manufacturing
The emergence of new high-
tech industrial and life sciences
industries in the late 70’s
opened opportunities for
development of clean air
solutions. We were among the
earliest to spot this opportunity.
Esco was thus founded in 1978
to pioneer development in this
exciting new field of clean air
technologies. Soon after,
leveraging on our strengths in
clean air technology, we
ventured into the construction of
laminar flow clean air devices.
By the early 80’s, we had
already designed biohazard
safety cabinets - today a core
offering of Esco Biotech - and
fume hoods. Manufacturing of
these products were also
undertaken simultaneously. This
greatly helped us in broadening
the base of our core
competencies to encompass
containment technology. By
then, Esco had emerged as the
first local company to export
indigenously developed and
credible clean air products. To
further build on our strengths,
Esco established a sheet metal
fabrication facility in 1985.
Esco Fume Filtration
The Esco Fume Filtration
Division is a highly focused
manufacturer of ductless fume
cabinets and other carbon-
filtered enclosures designed for
the containment of hazardous
chemical vapours in the
laboratory.
Our products comply with the
latest international standards for
both containment and filtration
efficacy such as the American
Standard ASHRAE 110,
European Standard EN 14175,
French Standard AFNOR NF X
15-211 and British Standard BS
7989:2001. Esco is unique in
being the first and only Asian
manufacturer of carbon filtered
enclosures which have been
independently tested and
certified. Our state-of-the-art in
house testing capabilities for
both containment and filtration
efficacy have also been
independently accredited.
Esco offers one of the widest
ranges (more than 7 types) of
carbon filtered enclosures in the
industry and are carefully
matched to the user’s
application to ensure safety.
When this process is complete,
the user can enjoy the benefits
of carbon filtration (ductless)
technology including mobility,
energy-savings and no
installation costs.
Today Esco is helping a whole
gamut of high-tech industries
keep their products, people and
processes free from
contamination.
Be it our cleanroom construction
components that help
pharmaceutical majors meet
GMP standards for producing
drugs in a clean environment; or
our laminar flow mini-
environments that help
microelectronics manufacturers
enhance their product reliability
and yields; or for that matter our
safety cabinets that help
researchers conducting clinical
biological research in developing
vaccines for dangerous
diseases – Esco is making its
own humble contribution in a
wide range of critical fields that
in turn help in making a
difference to our day-to-day
lives.
With sales in over 70 countries,
we have fully geared ourselves
for the international
marketplace. In our single
minded pursuit for customer
satisfaction, we have developed
a well knit network of
international distributors and
partners, who provide quick,
responsive and localised service
and support for our products.
