Company profile

Emerson Process Management LLLP is a U.S. legal entity within Emerson Electric Co. (NYSE: EMR), the St. Louis, Missouri-based industrial automation group. Emerson Process Management was the brand for Emerson's process-automation business from 2001 until the company consolidated its platforms; effective October 1, 2016 (FY2017 reporting), it was folded into the Emerson Automation Solutions segment. It is not a publicly traded or standalone company — it is one of many separate legal entities associated with the Emerson process platform, as Emerson itself has stated in court filings. Parent scale: Emerson reported FY2025 (ended Sept. 30, 2025) sales of roughly $18.0 billion with about 71,000 employees; the Automation Solutions segment ran at roughly $9 billion-plus annually in the late 2010s. Headquarters of the LLLP itself is not consistently documented; the process-automation operations have historically centered on Marshalltown, Iowa (Fisher) and the Austin/Round Rock, Texas area.

Operations. Emerson Process Management supplies process automation technology for oil and gas, refining, chemical, power generation, life sciences, food and beverage, metals and mining, and water/wastewater customers. Product lines include control valves, actuators and regulators (Fisher), measurement and analytical instrumentation (Rosemount, Micro Motion), process control systems and software (DeltaV, Ovation), the PlantWeb digital architecture, and related engineering, project-management and maintenance services.

Litigation posture. Emerson Process Management LLLP appears once in the tracked data, exclusively as a defendant (0 plaintiff cases, 1 defendant case) — the profile of an operating company being sued, not an asserter. In SIPCO, LLC et al. v. Emerson Electric Co. et al. (No. 6:15-cv-00907, E.D. Tex., Tyler Division, filed Oct. 16, 2015, before Judge Gilstrap), plaintiffs SIPCO, LLC and IP Co., LLC (d/b/a Intus IQ) — patent-assertion entities holding wireless mesh/RF remote-monitoring patents — sued Emerson entities including Fisher-Rosemount Systems, Rosemount and Emerson Process Management LLLP. The case closed in July 2016. Parallel declaratory-judgment and IPR proceedings involving the same parties followed, including Federal Circuit appeals. The Eastern District of Texas venue is consistent with SIPCO's broader campaign against industrial and utility defendants.
