About Us

Who We Are

ESTA Manufacturing & Sales Ltd. has been designing, building, and commissioning electrical control systems since 1985. Based in Athy, Co. Kildare, we are one of Ireland's most established panel builders and automation solutions providers.

We work across the pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and general industrial sectors, delivering low voltage switchgear, motor control centres, process control panels, PLC and SCADA systems, and power quality solutions.

 

We are internationally accredited and every panel is built to current standards.

Every panel we build is engineered to the specific requirements of the customer. No two projects are the same. From a compact local control panel to a multi-section MCC, each system is designed from the ground up.
