ESI Alaska has been operating in Alaska since 2000, when we first started reconditioning heaters on Alaska's North Slope. .We discovered that Arctic challenges require solutions that are Built Arctic Tough. That's the guiding principle behind everything we do today.
For more than two decades we have manufactured innovative products for extreme conditions.
Today, we have perfected our process and developed a wide selection of some of the toughest products on earth. We have taken Arctic Tough equipment beyond Alaska and to the rest of the country, with locations in Seattle, Washington and Williston, North Dakota.
We specialize in high-quality equipment for the oil, mining, construction, and agriculture industries.
Here is a timeline of how we've grown and evolved since 2000.
