Emerson

What Emerson does

Emerson Electric Co. (NYSE: EMR) is a global industrial automation technology company founded in 1890 and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, with more than 10,000 employees and operations spanning North America, the Middle East (including a new manufacturing hub at King Salman Energy Park in Saudi Arabia launched in 2024), the UAE as a regional hub, and operations across Africa, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. The company sells automation solutions and software to large industrial enterprises in process industries (chemical, refining, LNG), power and water, mining and metals (including critical metals like lithium), life sciences, oil and gas, aerospace and defense, data centers, and factory automation. Reported Q1 2026 net sales were $4,346 million, with full-year 2025 net sales of approximately $21.2 billion.

Emerson's core technology is a platform-plus-modules automation stack anchored by the DeltaV Distributed Control System (for process industries), the Ovation automation platform (for power, water, and renewables via Ovation Green), and the AMS Asset Performance Management suite — now extended with Aspen Mtell, Aspen Fidelis, and AspenTech InfoPlus.21 following full AspenTech acquisition in 2025. The portfolio also includes NI (National Instruments) modular test & measurement hardware and software (PXI, CompactRIO, LabVIEW, TestStand), measurement instrumentation (Rosemount, Micro Motion, Flexim, Roxar), final control products (Fisher valves and FIELDVUE digital valve controllers, Bettis actuators, Vanessa severe-service valves), and discrete automation (PACSystems, ASCO, AVENTICS, Afag, Appleton, Movicon SCADA). DeltaV IQ controllers, DeltaV FB3000 RTUs, DeltaV SaaS SCADA with Edge Connect, and the AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor exemplify the 2025 product cadence. In 2025 Emerson launched its first GenAI-enabled automation systems for power and water, the NI Nigel AI Advisor, and the Guardian Virtual Advisor.

Emerson makes money through a mix of hardware sales (valves, actuators, instrumentation, NI test hardware), software licensing and subscriptions (AMS, AspenTech, DeltaV MES, DeltaV SIS, Guardian), recurring service contracts across 57+ global service centers, and project-based professional services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; sales are quote-based and executed through a direct enterprise field sales motion targeting large industrial buyers, supplemented by OEM-certified service providers. The GTM motion is further reinforced through flagship events (Emerson Exchange, PACK EXPO, ADIPEC) and consultative CTAs ("Connect with Us," "Request a Quote"). Quantified customer outcomes cited include 60-90% calibration workload reduction, 10-20% availability improvement, 30-50% preventive maintenance workload reduction, and 5-15% asset lifecycle extension, anchoring the value proposition for mission-critical automation upgrades across named customers such as Chevron, TotalEnergies, Merck, LyondellBasell, Covestro, Dominion Energy, South32, Lithium Americas, MOL Group, and Mitsui & Co.
