Today, ESCO is proud to be a trusted partner for contractors, electricians, plumbers, and homeowners alike.

Key Milestones:

• 1982: Lowell Shaum, Chairman of the Board, died following an extended illness. It was a great loss to the company, but those that worked under Lowell learned well.

• Lucile Shaum retires but remained active within the business as a Consultant and Board of Directors Member until her passing in 2008.
