The development from market leader in Europe to global sales presence
ESM: A success story in mowing technology
In 1994, ESM took over the twin-blade cutting technology division from BUSATIS-Werke in Hückeswagen. This takeover represented a milestone in the company's development and catapulted ESM to the position of market leader in Europe in the field of oscillating mowing technology and worldwide in the field of double-blade technology. The close partnership with industrial customers and original equipment manufacturers as well as the continuous development of new mower and cutterbar solutions played a central role then, just as they do today.
