The combined operations, under Westport’s Light-Duty Division, will offer a complete systems solution to OEMs looking to take advantage of the growing alternative fuel market. Westport’s Light-Duty Italian operations, including Emer, will continue to be managed by the managing director Maurizio Grando.
“As the market leader in high pressure components, Emer provides a major element in our strategic growth plans as well as bringing world class OEM relationships, new markets, and critical mass. We are fortunate to have Emer join the group,” said Ian Scott, President of Westport’s Light-Duty Division.
With Emer’s technology, Westport expects to do business with Italian, German and Indian OEMs and strengthen its presence in the Chinese and Russian markets with increased cross-channel sales. Moreover, it will enable Westport to more rapidly penetrate attractive end markets, including North America.
