Emerson acquires Chloride Group PLC

Emerson has acquired Chloride Group PLC to assist the company’s growth strategy for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and integrated data centre solutions.

Chloride’s UPS technology, European presence and leading service and custom power solutions across a wide range of applications complements Emerson Network Power’s other brands and businesses, including Liebert, Avocent, Energy Systems, Knürr, ASCO and Aperture. The addition of Chloride strengthens Emerson’s ability to enable business-critical continuity and deliver IT infrastructure power solutions. Chloride further adds strength to Emerson’s global position with its industrial UPS technology and customer base.

Rapid growth in data traffic and a critical business need for high availability is driving the need for power continuity solutions. Faced with power grid supply variability, customers rely on Emerson and Chloride technology to maintain clean, efficient power levels and continuity when being out of power or offline is not an option.
