About ESC
ESC Europa-Siebdruckmaschinen-Centrum GmbH & Co. KG is an owner-managed family business based in Bad Salzuflen that has been active in industrial printing technology since 1949. The company started with the production of screen printing stencils and has continuously expanded its range of services: today the product portfolio includes semi- and fully automatic machines as well as complete production systems for screen printing, pad printing and digital printing, matching dryers, printing accessories, complete equipment for screen making, and used machinery. In addition to machine sales (including Mimaki, Bergstein Digital), ESC implements customer-specific printing and coating solutions in special-purpose machinery engineering that integrate robots, UV and K-NIR drying units and modern production monitoring. For industrial printing applications, screen printing stencils, films, clichés and printing pads are produced – also for functional applications such as Printed Electronics with silver, carbon and solder pastes, IMD/IML applications, sealing print for automotive, and application of adhesives and opaque layers. In addition, ESC offers print part holders, maintenance, repair, overhauls, application technology, training, washing systems, squeegee sharpening systems and consumables such as inks, meshes, squeegees and cleaning agents.
