About the company
EMS specializes in making Thermostatic Bimetals, which are metal strips that bend when temperature changes to regulate circuits. They offer over 100 unique bimetal designs tailored to specific needs and serve manufacturers in both household appliance and industrial sectors. These bimetals are used in devices like wall thermostats, water heaters, gas meters, and steam traps to control temperature reliably. The product works by leveraging different expansion rates of two metals bonded together, causing bending with temperature changes to open or close switches or valves. EMS differentiates itself through a focus on quality and safety, delivering cost-effective, reliable components that improve performance of temperature-dependent devices. The company’s goal is to provide affordable temperature-regulation solutions that enhance efficiency, safety, and reliability for its customers.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- On 2024-06-25, EMS bought Thin Metal Parts, adding defense, aerospace, and medical customers.
- EMS's August 2026 website highlights active battery and electronics work plus MD&M West promotion.
- EMS's 2026 news page still posts new technical content, signaling ongoing commercial activity.
What critics are saying
- Hamburg, Pennsylvania closes permanently by October 31, 2026, cutting 58 jobs.
- That shutdown concentrates manufacturing at Attleboro and China, raising disruption and customer-loss risk.
- If appliance OEMs standardize electronic controls, EMS's thermostatic-bimetal core becomes obsolete.
What makes Engineered Materials Solutions unique
- EMS's thermostatic bimetals still anchor 100-plus custom SKUs across appliances and industrial controls.
- Wickeder Group backs EMS, combining clad metals with Thin Metal Parts' precision micro-components.
- EMS serves appliance, battery, automotive, and cookware markets from Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and China.
