Engineered Machined Products

What Engineered Machined Products does

Engineered Machined Products (EMP) is a thermal management and precision machining company founded in 1981 and headquartered in Escanaba, Michigan, with approximately 400 employees across facilities in Escanaba, Greenfield (Indiana), and Birmingham (UK, via parent Concentric AB). The company designs and manufactures electric water pumps, electric oil pumps, brushless DC fans, complete cooling systems, high-voltage components for commercial EVs, and high-amperage alternators under its proprietary SmartFlow brand, alongside its legacy contract-machining business serving heavy equipment OEMs such as Caterpillar (CAT Platinum Certified). Its core technology is the SmartFlow brushless DC motor platform with integrated motor controllers, IP6K9K-rated packaging, and an in-house Thermal Management Controller (TMC) running proprietary algorithms, supported by an extensive patent portfolio (24 patents including predictive cooling software EMPrecision and EMPredict, and the Oil Mate DNCO oil-management system).

EMP operates a B2B OEM-embedded go-to-market model, embedding components into customer vehicles during original manufacture. Revenue is generated through (1) sale of SmartFlow-branded thermal management hardware to OEMs, (2) precision CNC machining and complex assembly services at the Greenfield plant for heavy equipment manufacturers, and (3) custom-engineered system integration including design, prototyping, testing, and production. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer mix spans transit and public transportation (New Flyer Gold supplier 2018-2023), off-highway equipment (construction, agriculture, mining, military), commercial EV (zero-emission trucks, refuse trucks, electric school buses), oil and gas, and power generation.

EMP has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Swedish flow-control group Concentric AB since 2021, leveraging the parent's European footprint while operating with brand and operational independence in North America. Recent 2023 contract wins totaling approximately MSEK 285 (~USD 27M) — including a MSEK 201 hydrogen fuel cell cooling contract, a MSEK 70 Indian CV OEM nomination, and a MSEK 14 electric school bus contract — position EMP at the intersection of heavy-duty thermal management and the commercial-vehicle electrification cycle. The company holds IATF 16949:2016, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 26262 (SEooC), LV123, MBN 11123, and ISO 21498 certifications, providing regulatory entry barriers across both conventional and electrified commercial vehicle platforms.
