Emerson boosts electric actuator offerings
Emerson Process Management has acquired Texas-based EIM Controls, a manufacturer of valve actuators. It will join the company’s valve automation division, expanding Emerson’s electric-actuator portfolio while strengthening the company’s applications for Foundation fieldbus and other major bus protocols.
“EIM Controls brings to Valve Automation a well-known reputation for reliability and extensive product line that perfectly complements our PlantWeb digital plant architecture,” said Dan Button, President of Valve Automation.
The addition of EIM Controls brings multi-turn and quarter-turn actuators, incorporating MCP, M2CP, TEC2000 and the ECP2000 electric and electronic controls, into Emerson’s portfolio.
