We have been manufacturing for the writing industry for more than 40 years.

No single pen appeals to everyone. This is why we work hand-in-hand with you to meet your needs.

How do we do this? By conceptualizing your requirements. Our primary focus is to design, develop, and produce a tip that perfectly compliments your selected ink and other parameters. Said another way, we seek to design, engineer, and shape performance according to your exact goals. Then, we produce samples and collect your feedback through an iterative loop that fine-tunes a perfect product. The end result is a product that is uniquely designed and engineered for your use case.

We offer technical guidance and can help you resolve any difficulty. We arrange for customers to visit our factories to gain a deeper technical understanding of how we achieve our results. Ultimately, we value our relationship with you, and seek to build collaborations well into the future.

A typical day at our factories means...

...spindles running at more than 50,000 revolutions a minute...

...turning and drilling of 2.30mm thick stainless steel alloy blanks resulting in a spew of fine metal powder...

...a 0.40mm diameter tungsten carbide ball being embedded in a nickel silver housing...

...a conscientious worker examining the housing of a typical tip magnified 100 times on a high-powered stereo microscope.

Using a combination of highly-precise and automated equipments, advanced technologies and sophisticated systems for manufacturing and quality control, we continually strive for perfection. A strong belief in systems is evident all over the shop-floor and our various departments. Our commitment to quality control is one of 'continuous improvement'. From end to end, we have developed stringent manufacturing practices and refined them over the years.

This flexible, modular approach from design through manufacturing provides a customized, end-to-end solution to our customers, thereby reducing cost and assuring quality of both our products and our service.

Synergy means cooperation and part of our essence is our abiltiy to work as a team learning from and growing with each other.

Several of our staff have been with us for more than two decades, gaining valuable knowledge of the manufacturing process as well as an unparalleled insight into the dynamics of this technology-oriented industry.

Training and cross-training helps us to become more flexible and to respond quickly to the changing needs of customers.

Collaboration at all levels of the manufacturing process also means that the Essem team are more productive and proficient at accomplishing their shared goal of developing the highest-quality writing tool.

When a customer chooses to work with Essem, they aren't just selecting a brand, but a distinct working style.
