Elevatoring Specialist Philippines Inc. was founded in 2011 by Dr. Erico S. Pacaba, PhD, a recognized pioneer and expert in conveying systems in the Philippines. Many of the country’s top homegrown conveying systems engineers credit Dr. Pacaba as their teacher, mentor, and inspiration.

Prior to establishing ESP Inc., Dr. Pacaba was tapped by KONE Elevators Corp. to establish and lead the Philippine subsidiary of KONE Elevators. Under his leadership, KONE Philippines Inc. grew to be one of the largest suppliers of conveying systems in the 1980's and 1990's, securing headline projects such as the Asian Development Bank, and serving the most well-known developers in the country. By the late 1990's, Dr. Pacaba was credited for leading KONE Philippines Inc. to being the top performing KONE Elevators Corp. subsidiary in the world.

However, Dr. Pacaba noticed a worrying trend - he noticed that conveying systems suppliers would place their need for sales above those of their clients, frequently pushing for products or services that are not needed, taking advantage of brand, or a lack of specialized expertise in conveying systems in pursuit of profit. As an engineer through and through, Dr. Pacaba's passion has always been about using technology to improve the quality of life of his customers and their loved ones, and so in 1997, he vacated his position at KONE Philippines Inc. and established Lifting Systems Philippines Inc., a conveying systems consultancy meant to ensure that the needs and interests of his clients were well-represented.

In the twenty years that followed, Dr. Pacaba became such a valuable partner to developers, building owners, and building administrators all over the country, earning the trust of prestigious clients such as Rockwell Land, DMCI, and Robinson’s Land, among others.

His clients were so impressed by his expertise that they would frequently ask him if it would be possible for him to personally serve their supply and installation, preventive maintenance, or modernization needs. In the hopes of being able to better serve the Filipino people through quality mobility, accessibility, and conveyance, he reincorporated Lifting Systems Philippines Inc. in 2011 into Elevatoring Specialist Philippines Inc., a full-service, end-to-end conveying systems and mobility solutions provider offering a full suite of services including conveying systems design, audit and consultancy, supply and installation, modernization, preventive maintenance, and repair.

Since then, ESP Inc. has continued to serve top developers in the country as a conveying systems and quality assurance consultant, is now responsible for maintaining elevators serving hundreds of floors all over the country, and moves thousands of people every day in homes and offices through innovative mobility solutions that were introduced by Dr. Pacaba into the Philippine market.

ESP Inc. continues to proudly uphold Dr. Pacaba's vision of a mobile, accessible Philippines, and moves people everyday with our heritage of excellence and proven expertise in the field.
