Company History
Tom Adams and Brad Hendrickson, both electrical engineers with system
integration and process control experience, founded Crown ESA as an
S-Corporation in 1992. Building its business through specialized steel
mill process control implementation, the Company cultivated a highly
regarded reputation in Indiana and enjoyed a high annual revenue growth
since its inception. Bill English joined Crown ESA in January 1993,
further enhancing the Company's presence within the local steel mill
market through his industry connections. In 1998, Dave Jancosek left
his job as manager of the local General Electric service office to
buy into Crown ESA and become a partner of the company. Dave brings
a professionalism and creditability that has lead to the company's
ability to capture larger projects thorough his immense contacts within
the industry. Tom Adams, Brad Hendrickson, Bill English and David
Jancosek equally own Crown ESA.
Crown ESA's expertise in both new and old technologies distinguishes
it from its competitors. The Company offers a multitude of low-cost
solutions by interfacing clients' older equipment with new installations
and addressing only the failed or problem area of the process control
system. In January 1999, Crown ESA acquired PK Engineering (PKE),
a manufacturer of process control enclosures, bringing in-house a
previously outsourced operation.
Today Crown ESA has become a leading industrial automation and process
control company serving a diverse portfolio of prestigious domestic
and international customers. The Company was ranked #479 in the Inc.
500, a list of the 500 fastest growing companies in the United States.
Also, the Company was recognized for its excellent past performance
and future growth prospects in 2000 and 2001 by receiving the Indiana
Growth 100 Award. Furthermore, the owners of Crown ESA were presented
the Entrepreneur Success Award for the state of Indiana in 2001.
