About ESM
ESM Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik GmbH & Co. KG was founded on 1 October 1974 and manufactures at its Ennepetal site cutting elements, mower blades, double-blade cutting systems and cutter bars for oscillating mowing technology. The mower blades and cutting elements are produced on CNC-controlled drilling and machining centres; materials include high-grade tempered steel for cutter bars as well as CARBODUX®-hardfaced blade segments. The product portfolio includes cutting systems for agricultural technology (bidux®, biduxX-FLOW®), cutter bars for municipal technology and landscape maintenance, as well as special applications such as waterway maintenance, large-scale harvesting technology and sugarcane harvesting technology CaneThumper®. ESM develops products including prototype construction and field trials through to series production readiness, manufactures in small to large series, and supplies industrial and wholesale partners worldwide with an export share of well over 50%. In 1994, the company took over the double-blade cutting technology division of the BUSATIS works.
