About us

ESSI was founded in Colombia in 1996, transforming visionary concepts into reality through unwavering persistence, discipline, and engineering excellence. Established as a solutions, services, and innovation company, ESSI began its trajectory in the industrial sector.

A pivotal milestone came in 1998 with the strategic launch of ESSI’s Aseptic Processing business unit. This division pioneered the industry’s first flexible UHT packaging machine for shelf-stable milk – designed, manufactured, and commissioned entirely in-house. This breakthrough solution revolutionized dairy production, extending pasteurized milk shelf life from 4–6 days to 30–90 days without refrigeration. Today, 86% of this unit’s sales are generated in international markets.

ESSI solidified its leadership in 2005 through the collaboration of specialized engineers and investors committed to adding value across dairy, food, and beverage industries. The company emerged as a national benchmark with two core business lines: end-to-end aseptic processing solutions (from raw intake to end-of-line systems) and BPO services for maintenance & renewable energy (including solar panels and in-house technical support).

International expansion accelerated in 2009, establishing ESSI as a global reference across Mexico, Central America, and Latin America. This growth extended into the Indian market in 2019.

Today, ESSI delivers comprehensive, innovative processing solutions. Our relentless pursuit of value-driven partnerships has cultivated a portfolio of over 40 integrated systems spanning three critical areas: process equipment, packaging technology, and end-of-line automation. This end-to-end offering is trusted by leading dairy and food industry enterprises worldwide for its proven performance and technological excellence.
