Equipment Merchants International
Announces
Company Name Change
Equipment Merchants International, Inc., (EMI) announced today that it will be renamed Equipment Manufacturers International, Inc., effective immediately. The name change is part of a rebranding initiative to better align the Company’s name with its overall strategic mission to provide a wider range of in-house produced foundry equipment, including complete turnkey foundry installations.
EMI began building on this strategy with the acquisition of major foundry equipment suppliers such as Osborn, SPO, Sutter and Herman. In doing so, they established a reputation for engineering and manufacturing a broad range of equipment to make foundry production faster, better, and more reliable.
EMI’s Board and its ESOP employees unanimously made the decision to change the Company’s name based on its broadening role as a foundry equipment manufacturer. “With the acquisition of several prominent OEM machine manufacturers over the years, as well as the increased production of EMI developed machines and systems, we felt now was the time to align our identity with our diverse manufacturing capabilities,” said Jerry Senk, president of EMI.
The new name reflects EMI’s ability to provide a complete range of new manufactured equipment, remanufactured machines, parts and maintenance all at the highest level of service from their Cleveland, Ohio production facility.
While EMI’s name is changing, its legal status, Web, physical address, contacts, and contracts with existing customers will remain the same for the smoothest transition. In addition to the new name and look, an updated tagline to communicate their new identity has been added, “Foundry Equipment…By Design”.

EMI’s New Matchplate Molding Machine Design
EMI Inc.’s Automatic Matchplate Molding Machine design includes an improved six-piece frame; a removable, pattern spray storage tank that is not integrated into the frame; and a centrally located HMI on a swivel, so that an operator is available to work from either side of the machine. A cope lift design was added to the design, which allows a greater variety of pattern plates, and improved guidance for the guide rods. The squeeze head is redesigned to transfer force into the machine frame, not the hopper car, and has a new, upper cope mold ejection system. These were additions to the already improved designs such as eliminating drag shift and the addition of guide rods and linear bearings in the squeeze station.
More design improvements focus on the hopper car, fillerator, rollover, board feeder, and more.
