$40 Billion Of M&A In 4 Years But More ‘May’ Follow, Says Emerson Coo

(AP Photo: Tom Gannam) AP2007Despite having made $40 billion worth of acquisitions over the last four years, global industrial automation and technology giant Emerson (NYSE: EMR) may not be quite done yet, according to the company’s chief operating officer Ram Krishnan.Some of the company’s recent big ticket buys include automated test equipment and virtual instrumentation software company National Instruments for $8.2 billion, in 2023, and industrial software leader AspenTech with the deal valued at $7.2 billion, earlier this year.In an exclusive interview on Thursday, on the sidelines of Emerson Exchange, the company’s annual leadership event in San Antonio, Texas, U.S., Krishnan said building further operating strength focused on Emerson’s core competencies - i.e., process hybrid industries around production automation, and test and measurements - would remain a key driver."It’s not about elevated levels of M&A spending by us but the quest for the right kind of asset. Our acquisition strategy will be centered on both our core domains and what high quality assets we can bring in to the Emerson family."On the production automation side, we already have a very comprehensive scope in terms of pressure, temperature, level flow instrumentation, analyzers, control valve, pressure relief valves, isolation valves - you name it. So, I don’t see a lot of opportunity for us or the need to build out that capability.“Certainly there are elements in the research and development side in the automated test sphere where we may consider acquisitions. However, bulk of our moves would all likely be around optimization and software that would augment our vision of the enterprise operations platform and further our core ambition of boundless automation. Anyone who knows us, knows that’s a clear area of focus for us,” Krishnan said.With the big two industrial software vendors in the space - AVEVA and AspenTech - already having been acquired by Schneider Electric and Emerson respectively, the market’s focus is turning to another leading industrial software firm Cognite.Ram Krishnan, chief operating officer of Emerson speaks at Emerson Exchange 2025 in San Antonio,.
