EEMC/EMRC History:
EEMC is a mature experienced, and well-equipped analytical and engineering test firm staffed with professional people who know their jobs.In the 1970's the company initiated air quality measurement activities as a response to the increasing demands of new energy production facilities in the West. Early activities were headquartered in Billings, Montana. In 1981, EMRCwas founded after the start up of a gas monitoring electronics firm. In 1983, EEMC located an office and laboratory in Tucson, Arizona. In 1984, a gas flow monitor production facility was established at the Billings site.
