Emerson announced it has acquired TopWorx. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. TopWorx becomes part of Emerson Process Management, expanding Emerson’s valve instrument offering and extending the reach of Emerson’s PlantWeb digital plant architecture to on/off valves and other instruments.
Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, TopWorx manufactures industrial sensors and controls which monitor and control automated valves and other field devices. TopWorx Valvetop discrete valve controllers connect on/off valves to a variety of fieldbus networking protocols, and GO Switch leverless limit switches provide reliable position sensing in harsh environments and tough applications.
„TopWorx is a strong and growing business that is highly valued by its customers,” said John Berra, president, Emerson Process Management. „The acquisition gives us a quick and significant entry into the discrete instrumentation market, and is highly complementary to our existing valve, valve automation, and instrument businesses.“
