Esco started in 1978 when founder Lim Lay Yew saw a need for a regional player that can serve the then booming electronics manufacturing industry in Singapore. Mr. Lim used his extensive knowledge of cleanroom construction and certification to win over many contracts of international players in the then third-world Singapore.

In 2000, the company's focus has shifted from cleanroom design and construction to development and sales of laboratory equipment, in particular biological safety equipment, in responding to Asia's general lack of awareness and compliance in operator protection and product protection in biological safety labs. Esco has held thousands of seminars regionally to educate lab technicians on biosafety in the labs throughout the years, in an effort to enhance the level of awareness among the researchers and medical professionals. In particular, Esco has assisted the Chinese FDA in writing the industry standard for biological safety cabinets for China.

Under the leadership of group CEO XQ (Xiangqian) Lin, who joined the company at the age of 13 and served a key role in building the brand in life sciences industry,[1] Esco has expanded to medical devices industry and pharmaceutical equipment industry. In recognition of Esco's contribution, Esco has won Singapore Prestige Brand Awards (SPBA) Regional Brand consecutively in 2014, 2015, and 2016.[2][3]

In 2016, Esco sponsored Embryoplus in South Africa a Miri bench-top incubator to aid efforts in conservation of species that are in the brink of extinction.

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Esco continues to provide world-class equipment and reliable services to help research and hospitals. Multiple installations of COVID-19 equipment such as BSCs, PCR Cabinets, Refrigerators and Freezers, Laboratory Shakers, were done globally.
