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 450 employees.
The Gullers entered the Aerospace and Defense market with their first product, an F-214 Radio Noise Filter. Over the past six decades, the product range has grown to include Life Support Equipment, Ground Support Equipment, 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.

“The mid-size of the company allowed for super cool opportunities that you may not be able to get at a mega large business. The people were always welcoming, and you could go up to anyone without worrying if they’d think you’re asking a dumb question.”
