Mr. H. D. Srihari founded Ess Enn Auto CNC in 1981; more than forty years on, the company manufactures and exports precision machined components and assemblies as an Indian SME. The head office is in Basaveshwara Nagar, Bengaluru, and a second plant sits in the Hassan Growth Centre industrial area at Hassan, where the facility generates employment for the local community; together the two locations span 60,000 sq. ft. The team is stated as over 120 professionals and also listed as 26 to 50 people, and turnover exceeded USD 3.2 million in 2024.
Over 60 CNC machines fill the shop floor: 10 vertical machining centres, 3/4 axis, from 400mm to 1m bed (Doosan, Fanuc, Brother, Howa, Jyoti, ACE), with table sizes from 250 mm to 1000 mm, pallet changers and 4th axis tables; 8 multi-axis turning machines with C-axis and Y-axis, 8″ chuck and 65 mm bar (Doosan, ACE); 28 two-axis turning machines with 5″ to 10″ chucks (Doosan, Mazak, LMW, ACE, Galaxy and others); 8 bar-fed turning machines for 42mm bar (Miyano, Jyoti, PMT); 8 sliding head CNCs from 12mm to 25mm (Citizen, Hanwha and ACE); and a CNC cylindrical grinder, Ø150mm x 500 Lg (ACE Micromatic). Turning runs on machines of up to 5 axes (Doosan, Miyano, LMW, ACE), with up to a 10″ chuck, a bar capacity of ø75 mm and shafts up to 600 mm long, in batches of 100 to 100,000 units. The 5-axis sliding head machines, range L12 to A25, make components from M2 up to 130 mm length to a tolerance of 5µm and a roundness of 5µm, in batches of 1,000 to 100,000 units. Grinding capacity is also given as ø200 mm diameter and lengths up to 400 mm (ABC 500 mm), with in-process gauging and batches of 100 to 10,000 units.
Inspection relies on a CMM, contour measurement, a CNC vision system (CNC-VMS), surface roughness measurement and a profile projector, along with in-process gauges and precision instruments. Every machine connects to a central processor that monitors production and efficiency; planning runs on software with Gantt charts, design on CAD and CAM software, and ERP and CRM software cover accounting, inventory, invoices and BOM. UPS systems and a backup generator support zero downtime. Green measures include a 120 kVA solar rooftop generator, natural lighting on the shop floor, thermal insulation of the roof and a rainwater recharge system. Three global warehouse hubs span three continents, including warehousing in the USA, and the warehousing presence is expanding across the USA, UK and Europe.
Recognition includes the "Best District Exporter Award" at the FKCCI "Export Excellence Awards - 2020" for the Mandya, Mysore, Chamarajanagar and Hassan zone, dated 18th September 2020; a runner-up award for auto components presented by SBI, an initiative by Suvarna News and Kannada Prabha in association with KASSIA; the "Sir M. Visvesvaraya" award 2017-18 in Hassan district; a "Powered by Renewable Energy" trophy; the "MICO Quality Award" for consistently good quality of supplies, made out to Ess Enn Industries; and a certificate of participation for its nomination to the Dun & Bradstreet and RBL Bank "SME Business Excellence Awards 2018".
