Why join the ESA
Benefits of membership
The ESA unites companies to shape standards, influence industry direction, and drive technological progress. Together, members achieve far greater impact than any single company alone.
Collective industry influence
As a member of the ESA, a company is able to:
- Refine and influence the direction of the industry.
-
Join other industry leaders to influence standards bodies, legislators, customers and other groups as appropriate.
Most importantly, the ESA can make an impact where a single company may have only very limited influence.
The ESA has been particularly successful at influencing the development of ISO, CEN, API standards and PFAS legislation, adding to the value of these standards through the incorporation of technical expertise from the sealing industry, ensuring that the engineering technologies of the industry are well represented and reflecting the requirements of member companies.
Equally, ESA product divisions have implemented a variety of programmes aimed at improving customers’ understanding of the sealing technology most appropriate to their specific applications, as well as online training modules.
