EMI, which has 280 employees, is a supplier of castings, manifolds and transmission cases for heavy-duty truck and off-highway equipment.

Kurt Van Vlandren, spokesman for the new owners, said there will be no layoffs at the Erie plant and there are “preliminary plans being looked at to expand the facility.”
