The Leader in Fiber Optic Microscope Inspection, Cleaning Products, Sales & Services

EESi has been in business since 1986. It began as a Manufacturer’s Representative for electro-optical/fiber optics, RF, electrical, electronic, electromechanical equipment, and test and measurement instrumentation systems selling to the hi-tech manufacturing, engineering, service, telco, and cellular industries.

The Corporation offered sales representation for high technology manufacturers to customers in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska. Primary equipment sold was fiber optic products, test & measurement instrumentation, transmission, communication, and production equipment as well as devices for the telecommunications, control, computer, local area network, military, and semiconductor industries.

With a DBA granted for Cletop.Com in 2005, EESi became a reseller for the same type of products previously sold as a Manufacturer’s Representative, but now on a world wide basis via the internet.
