Emerson made its first sales in Korea in the early 1980s, and in 1988 established a formal presence with the opening of Fisher-Rosemount Korea Ltd., followed by Branson Ultrasonics in 1992. In 1994, Emerson Electric Korea Co., Ltd. was established to manage the company's rapidly diversifying interests in that nation. Emerson is currently represented in Korea by around 10 divisions across a broad spectrum of industries. Business offices are primarily located in Seoul.
During this time, Emerson's sales have grown rapidly, especially in the process control and domestic appliance market, with Copeland quickly establishing itself as the dominant supplier of compressors for air-conditioners and refrigerators, and the complete range of process automation offerings of EPM, the process automation offerings of Emerson Process Management Korea.
In-country manufacturing is currently limited to partial assembly of certain products by Emerson Process Management's Rosemount Measurement and Branson. However, consistent with its aggressive plans elsewhere in the region and worldwide, Emerson is seeking active participation in high-tech industries including semiconductors and telecommunications equipment. Emerson is actively exploring opportunities to begin a deeper level of manufacturing-based involvement in the Korean economy.
