Essex Industries is a leading supplier to the Aerospace and Defense market.

Founded in 1947 by Harold and Sidney Guller in their father’s basement, Essex Industries has grown to seven facilities, with over 300,000 square feet of manufacturing space and 400+ employees. The Gullers’ first product, an F-214 Radio Noise Filter, was designed to meet a specific requirement for that aircraft. Over the past seven decades, the product range has grown to include a variety of Platform Controls and Aircraft Components. As a result, Essex Industries has been a part of virtually every major military and commercial aerospace program since 1947. As Essex expanded their offering to the Aerospace and Defense markets, they developed other technologies and acquired companies to expand their product offering. Today, Essex is recognized for its core product segments of Platform Controls, Aircraft Components, Emergency Breathing Equipment, and LOX Equipment. Through the years, Essex Industries has built on the company’s rich history, establishing a reputation for providing engineered solutions to customers’ problems. With exacting quality standards and manufacturing expertise, Essex Industries is a company you can rely on for your toughest application requirements.

Essex had fun on Halloween, from the East Coast in Milford to the West Coast in Huntington Beach, and in St. Louis, in the Midwest.

We love the Halloween Spirit throughout all the facilities!

We recently welcomed representatives from The Opportunity Trust and Ignite Fund to Essex to see our partnership with Next Prep and how we help prepare students for future careers. Two current high school students presented their experiences as Essex interns, followed by a tour of our Chivvis facility and discussions about career pathways in manufacturing.

One highlight was a smoke hood deployment speed competition, where teachers and students had the opportunity to deploy an Essex PBE smoke hood. Thank you to everyone who helped make the visit a success and to our partners for investing in the next generation of talent.

"Families At Essex" is a series that showcases the many families that work here to help shape the everyday culture. As a third generation, family-owned corporation, these relationships represent what Essex stands for at its core. By highlighting the families who chose to grow their career together, we celebrate the connections that make Essex a truly unique and great place to work.

Mollie Thompson, Manager of Customer Care, has been with Essex for nearly 12 years, while Chad Leftwich, VP of Supply Chain, has been with the company for 14 years. As sister- and brother-in-law, they see each other frequently at work, often stopping by each other's offices to connect and collaborate. They value the trust, familiarity, and accountability that come with working together and knowing they can count on one another.

For both, Essex's family-oriented culture is about more than the people they're related to. It's about building personal connections, supporting coworkers, and working together toward shared goals. It's a dynamic that makes Essex a place where people can feel connected both professionally and personally.

Our employees find a way to work through challenges and keep things moving forward.

When faced with a new inspection challenge, one of our team members stepped up to find a solution. He took on the challenge, developing three programs for our Keyence equipment to complete inspections and move orders to the next operations.

It's one of the many ways our team puts our Find a Way value into action.
