Core offering

Emerson Electric manufactures and supplies industrial automation hardware, software, and control systems including Ovation control systems, distributed control systems, measurement instruments (Coriolis meters, laser spectrometers), AspenTech industrial software for asset optimization, and National Instruments test and measurement platforms. The company also delivers electrical solutions through its Appleton Group division (Appleton, O-Z/Gedney, SolaHD, Nelson, EasyHeat brands) for hazardous-location and industrial applications across energy, chemicals, oil and gas, data centers, mining, and manufacturing sectors.

Product overview

Emerson Electric operates as a diversified global technology and engineering company that has been reshaping its portfolio toward higher-growth automation and software segments. The company completed the sale of its Climate Technologies business to Blackstone in 2023 while acquiring National Instruments (NI) and increasing its stake in industrial software provider AspenTech the same year. The portfolio includes automation solutions (process automation, control systems), software offerings (AspenTech asset optimization software), test and measurement products (NI platform), and electrical solutions through the Appleton Group division (Appleton, O-Z/Gedney, SolaHD, Nelson, EasyHeat brands). Emerson targets mid-single-digit to high-single-digit underlying sales growth supported by secular automation demand and a more software-rich revenue mix with recurring elements.
