Meet the Makers: The espas Family - Direct Access to Vision and Experience. From Our Family to Yours
At the heart of espas stands the Aukam family — father and son, craftsmen, engineers, and founders. For three generations, they have guided espas with a vision rooted in German precision, tradition, and a genuine passion for creating joyful spaces for children.
Mr. Aukam (father) founded espas on strong values: honesty, quality, and lasting relationships. With decades of expertise in engineering and manufacturing, he personally supervises every project and ensures every product meets the strictest German and international standards.
His son, now CEO and Head of Engineering, represents the fusion of family tradition and forward-thinking innovation. He is dedicated to sustainable production, state-of-the-art technology, and delivering personalized solutions to clients across the globe.
The Aukam family believes in open dialogue and direct responsibility — every client can speak to the owners themselves. Your inquiries, ideas, or special project needs receive immediate attention from the very people who design and produce your equipment.
