History
1941: Foundation
Post-war, the company begins the production of their original designs: a set of handles, knobs, handgrips and normalized handwheels for machines.
1960: Standardization
ELESA enhances their reputation and prestige by establishing norms and setting standards––a brilliant idea and a first for the industry. This innovation creates fixed parameters to which all producers and users of elements for manual controls and regulation for machines will refer. With their debut at major European machine tool exhibitions, ELESA builds the foundations for entry into the international market.
1980: Development
The age of globalization brings increasing exportation and the opening of far flung markets, leading to the establishment of strategic partnerships with qualified worldwide distributors and the opening of branches in France, England, the United States, Sweden, Switzerland, Canada, Austria, Spain, Poland, China, Czech Republic, India, Türkiye and the Netherlands creating the ELESA Group. Their slogan "ergonomics + design = quality" inpires ELESA's Ergostyle® line, which is lauded by the most prestigious international juries of industrial design.
1990: Specialization
The growing and increasingly sophisticated needs of target markets push ELESA to both extend the range of standard products and to study custom solutions. Customer needs lead to new-generation product lines and standard elements that combine special materials and advanced technologies.
