Bench Repair and Exchange Program

Every member of the Essi lab team has years of experience working on any piece of Aids to Navigation equipment that can be, or has been, found in the Gulf of Mexico in the last 30 years. This experience allows our team members to repair and refurbish even outdated or obsolete equipment to keep our customers going without having to overhaul entire systems. This program also provides Essi with the largest stock of older and legacy parts and equipment in the industry. Even larger than that of the companies who originally produced the equipment. If your system is too far gone for simple repairs to suffice, our exchange program takes the sting out of the overhaul bill. By giving our customers the ability to upgrade at a discounted price by “trading in” their old equipment.
