Electronic Systems Protection Inc., headquartered in Zebulon, North Carolina, is the global leader in energy intelligence technology. Our products provide unparalleled industrial-grade protection, safeguard the reliability of digital equipment, and enable service based organizations to pro-actively manage power quality.
- ESP was originally established when micro-processor technology was first introduced to control photo copier machines in the early 1980s. Our founders discovered that Micro-processor based photo copiers could not meet their design copies between calls (CBC) and clean power was required for these technologically sophisticated products to function properly. Office equipment dealers and manufacturers, in turn, needed a cost effective solution to reduce ground noise and provide clean power. Electronic Systems Protection, Inc. was created to deliver that solution.
- For over twenty years, equipment manufacturers and dealers throughout the world have relied on ESP’s patented power protection technology to protect their equipment and enhance the operations of their business. Our company has been recognized as the industry leader and partner due to our innovative B2B power protection products, unmatched customer support, channel business expertise, and our comprehensive Lifetime Protection Guarantee. Our products are proudly made in the U.S.A., custom built in our North Carolina manufacturing facility, and are certified by leading standard and safety organizations.
- In addition to our core business, ESP also owns and operates SurgeX, the leading brand of energy intelligence products for the audio, video, broadcast, and multi-media marketplace. ESP acquired SurgeX three years ago to expand our technology platform, enhance our product line, and expand into new vertical markets.
