FANUC

GE Fanuc was a joint venture between General Electric and FANUC Corp. that existed from 1986 until the late 2000s, offering automation and control systems for industrial applications. After General Electric sold its share, the GE part of the business was integrated into Emerson, while FANUC Corporation continued its operations independently as a global leader in factory automation.
History of GE Fanuc

The Shift and Present Day

Emerson's Acquisition:
Emerson acquired the GE part of the business in the late 2000s, integrating GE Fanuc's technologies and customer base into its own automation portfolio.
