Farr, chairman, CEO and president. ‘However, we believe Brooks’ alignment within AIP’s business provides the right synergy going forward for both companies.’Over the past 18 months, Emerson has sold several small businesses including its Western Forge hand tool unit and Buehler materials testing business, and in recent weeks sold its joint venture interest in Industrial Motion Control.Emerson has also made a number of acquisitions.
