| For more than 40 years, EMI has been one of the most experienced and reliable manufacturers and suppliers of automation equipment and maintenance products for the plastics industry. We have thousands of products and our automation systems are found in many of the largest—and smallest—plastic processing facilities.
EMI was established in 1968 to provide innovative, high-quality, end-of-barrel products for injection molding machines. As the injection molding industry grew, a need began to emerge for technology to automate the handling of plastic molded parts. To meet this need, EMI began developing conveyors and engineered automation systems including central conveying, box filling, parts diverting, cooling, and many other custom engineered systems.
Crizaf S.p.A.’s—a European company specializing in automation technology based on extruded aluminum conveyor frames—North American operations were acquired by EMI in 1998 to provide more conveyor options for our customers. EMI's EOAT division was launched in 2000 and has quickly grown to become North America’s largest and most innovative supplier of end of arm tooling components and robotic EOAT engineering. In 2009, EMI became an Official Motoman Solution Provider of servo robots to supply complete, integrated automation systems for plastic molders.
