Complex Machine Design

Do you need to design a complex mega machine or industrial equipment that doesn’t exist? No problem for DE. We’ve been designing and building complex machines for 30 years. Need to redesign existing equipment? We do that too.

If it’s never been done before, that’s our sweet spot. If you’re looking for a commodity piece of equipment, we’re not your engineering firm.
