Customer Testimonials & Reviews

Hear how industrial fabricators worldwide achieve rapid ROI with Esprit CNC machines

Proven Engineering Integrity

Trusted by Leading Manufacturers Across 30+ Countries


At Esprit Automation, we let our engineering performance and customer results speak for themselves. From steel service centres and heavy structural contractors to volume automotive component suppliers, our British-built CNC cutting systems deliver multi-shift reliability, lower cost per cut part, and precision edge quality.

Having dealt with Esprit for over 8 years, we have purchased 2 CNC cutting machines from them and found both to be extremely well-built. The cut quality is exceptional across the entire range, from thin gauge sheets to thick structural plates. From sales and technical management to field service engineers, the entire Esprit team is knowledgeable, helpful, and dependable. They have actively helped our business grow.

Thanks to our four Esprit Lightning HD 1500 × 6.5 m machines running continuously in our cutting facility, both the quality and quantity of BM catalysts produced have increased exponentially. The accuracy of high-definition plasma on automated gantries allowed us to scale high-volume production without sacrificing bevel tolerance.

We decided to invest in the Esprit Viper heavy-duty plasma cutter after extensive market evaluation. Our engineering team identified it as a significantly stronger, more robust machine capable of taking on the heavy workloads in our factory. It plays a vital role in producing heavy loading shovel attachments, and the machine paid for itself within two years.

Seeing the massive in-house spare parts stock and direct engineering assembly line at their UK headquarters convinced me that Esprit was the right partner. Unlike agents who rebrand imports, Esprit controls the machine design, control software, and technical support directly.

Honestly, I don't know why we didn't buy an Esprit CNC machine 10 years ago! Bringing profile cutting in-house eliminated subcontractor lead times, lowered our part cost instantly, and gave us full control over production schedules.
