About ESM
ESM Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik GmbH & Co. KG was founded on 1 October 1974 and develops and manufactures oscillating mowing technology at its Ennepetal site, 100% Made in Germany. The product range includes double-blade cutting systems (bidux®, biduxX-FLOW®), double-blade mower bars, finger mower bars, municipal mower bars and universal mower bars as well as patented cutting elements such as the CARBODUX® hardfaced mower blades. Special applications cover hedge cutting, landscape and watercourse maintenance, animal-drawn mowers, large-scale harvesting technology as well as the double-blade cutting systems CaneThumper® (sugar cane) and SickleSword®. Production is carried out on CNC-controlled drilling and machining centres; mower blades and cutting blades are manufactured to customer requirements in small to large series. The in-house design department with Autodesk CAD supports industrial customers and OEMs from the development of complete assemblies through prototype construction to production readiness. With an export share of well over 50%, ESM supplies partners around the globe.
