Emerson has acquired Ameya Transmissions, a Pune-based maker of gear operators and gearboxes.
This acquisition complements Emerson Process Management’s final control technologies used primarily in the oil and gas and power industries. It gives Emerson an end-to-end product line offering for customers, including the actuation of manual valves via gears.
The company has supplied nearly a million gearboxes to the valve industry in India since 1993.
Ameya develops and manufactures a wide range of gear operators, including quarter-turn and multi-turn manual gearboxes, which are supplied to the manual valve industry.
“Ameya is a great strategic fit for Emerson and strongly complements our actuator business,” Dr Amit Paithankar, Managing Director of Emerson Process Management, India said in a press release.
This acquisition strengthens our portfolio with the addition of a strong gearbox product platform that enhances our current solutions capabilities for customers in India and around the world.” Besides serving the Indian market, Ameya products are currently exported to a number of other countries.
