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. We recently finished construction on our new 110,000 square foot facility located at 801 West Pike Street, Jackson Center, Ohio. This new larger space made room for new machinery which will expand and expedite manufacturing, increased our assembly area, and allowed for necessary growth of our stocking abilities. Built from the ground up, we were able to make many improvements to workflow versus our original location of 50+ years. High priority was placed on the openness of the plant design, optimizing the ease of movement between all departments and product lines. In another effort to achieve the best productivity, we have also changed to a new powder coat painting technique, which both shortens lead times and improves quality. EMI Plásticos Internacional S de RL de CV, a subsidiary of EMI Corp, was established in 2011 to provide technical, service, and sales support to our customers in Mexico. Staffed by knowledgeable and helpful EMI Plásticos employees, our Monterrey, NL facility includes offices and a warehouse containing a large inventory of our EOAT products, injection machine supplies, and conveyors.
