European Shoe Machinery Company celebrates 20th anniversary
The European Shoe Machinery Company (ESM), a UK-based supplier of USM and BUSM Goodyear welted machinery, is celebrating its 20th year in business at its home in Kettering.
“We are proud to support the Goodyear welted footwear industry, particularly the heritage and tradition of manufacturing in Northamptonshire,” said ESM’s founder, Roberto Petrozzi. “We have a real passion for what we do and feel really privileged to be working with some of the world's most famous footwear brands.”
ESM offers a range of services to welted manufacturers in terms of spares, rebuilt machinery and servicing packages. In addition to upgrades, the last two years have seen the introduction of a range of Goodyear welted machines covering making-room operations plus one in finishing.
This year, ESM is launching service and maintenance programmes to help manufacturers reduce machinery downtime.
