We started our business in Charleston SC. years ago in Commercial HVACR. While working on AC units the sun and elements bearing down on you would get unbearable and all you can think about is finding some shade in order to get cooled off. So, we would tie beach umbrellas to a unit with rope and anything we could find but it was a hassle and most of the time unsuccessful. So one day we decided to design something to hold the umbrellas to the units with no hassle and that is where we came up with the Gripper and ES Service Solutions.
