The company was founded in 1956 by the physicist Dr. Gustav Escherich as an engineering office. 1973 today's Executive Director, the engineer Peter Kist, joined the company and it was re-established as GmbH. It focused on four specialist divisions: industrial switchgear, security and safety technology, control units, electrostatics and surface cleaning systems.
In answer to the demand of the fast growing quality requirements and fully automatic production processes the company specialized in developing additional equipment for removing damaging surface particles such as dust, flock / particles, swarf / production residues, and more.
Dr. Escherich electrostatic systems and solutions for surface cleaning can be found nearly all sectors, especially automotive, telecommunication, electronics, print / converting, packaging, medical / pharma industries, spray painting, glass processing / photovoltaics and industrial production.
Our newly founded partner company in Dresden, "KIST Maschinenbau GmbH" has been developing and manufacturing surface cleaning plants since 1993.
Joint collaboration of both companies results today in an international circle of clients in Europe, USA and Asia, providing them with individual solutions. Our highly motivated employee are committed to building ever further on the present range of products and innovations as well as to keeping our position as market leader in the areas of electrostatics and surface cleaning.
