“Emerson delivered another solid year of operational performance in 2012 despite a challenging global macroeconomic environment,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David N.

Our businesses remained focused on execution and managing through uncertain market conditions – hallmarks of Emerson’s culture. The record operating margin performance reflects our continuing efforts to drive innovation and operational excellence despite unique challenges, and provides a solid foundation as we move into 2013.”
History
In 1892, two Scotland-born brothers, Charles
and Alexander Meston, saw a tremendous business opportunity in
patenting a reliable electric motor and decided to launch a new
company. They persuaded John Wesley Emerson, a former Union army
officer, judge and lawyer, to be their principal investor. The
company, then known as Emerson Electric Manufacturing Co., quickly
began exploring new uses for the largely untested technology
of electricity in a variety of household and commercial applications.
In 1892, Emerson sold the first electric
fans in America - a product for which the company soon became
renowned. As the company grew, it expanded its product line by
attaching electric motors to new products such as sewing machines,
dental drills, player pianos and power tools.
During World War II, Emerson was a supplier
to the U.S. Army Air Force, becoming the world's largest manufacturer
of aircraft gun turrets.
