ESTECO Technologies Engineering Process

People & story

A spin-off company

In the late 1990’s, three Italian engineers, Carlo Poloni, Luka Onesti and Enrico Nobile, created a spin off company turning the knowledge acquired during a European Union funded project into a successful commercial product.

ESTABLISHMENT OF ESTECO IN EUROPE
modeFRONTIER HITS THE MARKET
At the end of the EU funded project, the evaluation of the commercial potential of a multi-disciplinary optimization software called "Frontier" gave promising results and led to the decision of creating a new company acquiring the IP of the project. In 1999 ESTECO was founded and the platform called modeFRONTIER was brought to market.
ESTECO OPENS IN NORTH AMERICA
Based in the hearth of the Detroit automotive district, our North American office was primarily founded to provide qualified local support to customers in this space. Over the years, and thanks to a growing team of highly skilled professionals, the action scope expanded to many other sectors and organizations across the US, with recent focus on the Aerospace field.
SOMO FIRST RELEASE
Working closely with customers over the years, we have achieved an in depth understanding of the governance of engineering procedures. The first generation of our enterprise technology, SOMO, was released to extend modeFRONTIER optimization capabilities into a comprehensive web-based environment for integrated management of simulation process and data.
NEW HEADQUARTERS OPEN
With a steady yearly staff growth rate, the need for relocation to bigger premises had become evident over the years. Located in Area Science Park in Trieste – Italy, the new ESTECO Head Quarters are bigger, more functional and modern. They offer a better work environment to our employees and allow space for further development.

    INNOVATION
EXPANSION TO ASIAN MARKETS
Our partnership with IDAJ as a proficient distribution channel was key to the expansion to Asian markets and to ESTECO’s global business success. Thanks to this long-term collaboration our technology is now widely used in many primary organizations in Japan, China and Korea, which currently represent a significant share of our market.
ESTECO OPENS IN INDIA
Our Indian office was opened in Pune as a hub for strengthening strategic relationships with the growing customer base in the country. Along with offering qualified local support, the branch now counts on two professional teams which closely cooperate with our HQs on software testing and development.
SOMO EVOLVES INTO VOLTA
Our enterprise technology has evolved from SOMO to VOLTA to take collaborative engineering to the next level. Acting as an engineering hub, VOLTA provides an environment tailored for digital model generation and detailed analysis that actively supports organizations in the adoption of a formal optimization-driven design approach.
