 The EMD Mission is to serve our customers, partners, employees and corporation by performing, creating value and profitably growing. We will fulfill our mission through continuous renewal of the business with our performance and innovation. We will create value for our customers and corporation by developing people to be equipped, enabled, trained and willing to act and be accountable for their individual and team's performance and success.
From the very beginning, innovation has been the hallmark of EMD's accomplishments. Formed in 1952, EMD designed and manufactured critical application pumps used in the first nuclear submarine, the USS Nautilus. These pumps were developed using an innovative concept that produced zero-leakage pumps that require virtually no maintenance.
Today, these critical application pumps are being applied to advanced pumping applications for defense and commercial markets. Our new motor and pump designs have established new standards for performance and reliability. EMD's unique motor technology has led to other product innovations. Our Integrated Motor Propulsor System integrates a number of advanced technologies, a unique canned induction motor, material selection and deployment flexibility.  The development and qualification program for this rim driven propulsor was so successful that the prototype unit was used without any post-testing modification or refurbishment.
A similar product innovation utilizing our canned motor technology is the hazardous waste pump. This integral submerged canned motor/pump eliminated the need for externally supplied cooling and lubricating systems. The long-life, highly reliable design has dramatically contributed to life cycle cost savings in the transfer of hazardous wastes.
Our rich Westinghouse large electric machine technology legacy has enabled advanced designs for the ship service generators that power the U.S. Navy's fleet. EMD builds the Navy's largest and most advanced high-speed generators. This record documents EMD's ability to achieve major technical advances and promised performance levels while maintaining our hallmark reliability.
 Capitalizing on our rich history with canned motor pump technology, EMD has developed the most advanced pump technology in the world for the Generation III+ nuclear power plants (image to right). This newly designed pump has been incorporated into the Westinghouse AP1000 reactor plant and is the design adopted by China for the next generation of nuclear plants.
The Advanced Products and Systems Division (APSD) was established in 2000 to lead development of concepts, technology and products in the area of electromechanical systems, power conversion and power electronics. A major focus is the integration of power and control electronics with electric machine and electromechanical devices, providing solutions to meet our customer’s needs.
