About Us

ESI Equipment Inc. has been providing equipment, training and other services since 1990. Taking the Holmatro Rescue Tool Line, ESI initially covered Southeastern Pennsylvania where there were 10 customers, who are still with us today. Seeing the potential in the Holmatro Rescue Tools, founder John K. Evans quickly sought help from his long-time friend, past partner and past EMS officer, Pat Grubb. Working out of home and small under-rated vehicles, ESI suddenly grew as the Holmatro Tools gained popularity. Since both John and Pat came from Fire/Rescue/EMS backgrounds, relationships with other rescue departments came readily and expanding ESI's base was inevitable. Starting in Southeastern PA, ESI took on Southern New Jersey, Eastern half of Pennsylvania, then all of New Jersey, Delaware and finally the entire state of Pennsylvania and Northwest West Virginia today. ESI's customer base has increased to a total over 650 customers. Operating out of the headquarters in Horsham, PA, ESI also has a sales office in Strasburg, PA; service centers in Sussex County, New Jersey and Moon Township, PA. ESI employs 13 fulltime and 10 part time workers, and is considered one of the largest dealers in North America for vehicle rescue equipment.

While the customer base and coverage area increased, the types of rescue equipment also expanded. Concentrating on vehicle extrications, new products were brought on line to compliment these specific rescue efforts. Today, ESI handles over a dozen different rescue equipment lines and packages other specialized pieces under the ESI name.

Since the majority of ESI's customer contacts is on the road at their stations, ESI maintains a fleet of vehicles to provide direct customer contact for sales, service training and installations. The fleet consists of the following vehicles:
