Dear friends, customers, vendors and competitors, We all know what it’s like to have your business in a groove…or a lull…or even a grind. During Esco’s greatest period of growth, we suffered a devastating tragedy. While we wait for our new facility to be completed, we have found ourselves in an ongoing grind.

It has been my main goal to prove to our customers that Esco can handle any situation and rise above it. Since August of 2014, I...

A beginners primer on optical lenses what they do and the physics behind manipulating light with lenses. 

In an effort to lessen the impact of New Jersey’s unpredictable weather, Esco has chosen to be proactive in installing a 300kW generator that is our backup power source at 95 Chamberlain Road.  After the likes of hurricane Sandy and the recent winter storm Stella, we know that a contingency plan for power outages is a must!

The generator will provide Esco uninterrupted power to protect and maintain our production and computer systems.  This backup plan assures our customers have continued service and...

In our previous articles we learned that optical materials are defined by their ability to refract and disperse light, as well as, the physical characteristics of the material itself. Using these properties, an optical designer determines which material, or often times several different materials, best suit the intended purpose of their system. But choosing a material is only the first step in the process. More often than not, a simple polished surface that is smooth and defect free to the unaided eye, would cause any number of unwanted optical effects when assembled into a fully integrated system. It is important...
