Earthsafe Systems

What Earthsafe Systems does

Earthsafe Systems, Inc. is a privately held Illinois corporation founded in 1990 that designs, manufactures, and services integrated fluid handling systems for mission-critical power generation applications. The company's core product portfolio spans diesel fuel systems (pumps, tanks, filter polishers, fill stations, and master controllers), DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) systems for Tier 4 emissions compliance, auto-lube systems for CHP and prime power, and complementary lines in enclosures, solar micro-systems, and water recycling. Its proprietary technology platforms include Power Plex and Omniplex control systems, GenApp cloud-based monitoring with predictive Time-to-Empty analytics over Cellular LTE-M/NB-IoT, and Cobotic high-speed refueling systems capable of up to ~150 GPM transfer rates. The company is vertically integrated with in-house welded fabrication, powder coating, control panel building, and final assembly at its Downers Grove, Illinois headquarters.

The company sells primarily through direct enterprise sales targeting engineering and project teams during the design phase of capital equipment projects, supplemented by a US dealer network (established 2008) and an international dealer network serving Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. A strategic partnership with Franklin Fueling Systems provides access to 200+ global certified distributors and integrated component technology. Revenue is generated through quote-based hardware sales of configured systems, technical services (submittals, wiring diagrams, commissioning, PLC End-of-Life upgrades), and recurring or pay-as-you-go service lines including MP3 mobile filter polisher rentals and GenApp onsite fuel polishing services. Pricing is project-specific with a 24-hour turnaround target on quotations.

Earthsafe's customer base is concentrated in data centers (including hyperscale deployments with 500+ generators), hospitals and healthcare (with OSHPD-regulated California designs), critical infrastructure (water, telecom, government), automotive and aerospace testing facilities, and generator dealers/packagers. The company reports over 1,000 fuel systems installed worldwide across 30+ years, with active projects in 10+ countries. Recent strategic focus has been on AI data center infrastructure, with manufacturing capacity expansions in both 2025 and 2026 to meet hyperscale demand. The company operates an employee ownership program established during 2019-2022.
