Originally known as Artisan Electronics Corporation, we were established in 1950 in an area of New York City that later became well known as the police precinct referred to as "Fort Apache - the Bronx." The company relocated to Morristown, New Jersey, in 1957. Core business at that time included solenoids used in vending machines and contract manufacturing. 

Outgrowing the Morristown facilities, ground was broken in 1964 on the site where the business stands today - 5 Eastmans Road, Parsippany, New Jersey. The move and two building additions facilitated an era of rapid growth, product development, and key acquisitions. 

The Morgan Crucible Company, Windsor, UK, acquired the business in September of 1986. A strong management team weathered the very difficult times that most defense contractors endured during the late 1980's. The business prospered again during the 1990's and on September 1, 2000, the business was acquired in a buy-out by key management. The acquisition from Morgan also included MBM Technology, Brighton, UK. At the same time, Emblem Group Limited was formed and serves as the parent to each business. The result was a strong and synergistic organization with greater capability for growth and to meet the needs of our customers. 

In June of 2003, the business was aquired by EDO Corporation, which is headquartered in New York City. Today, Artisan is comprised of some of the original Artisan products, which include defense contracting, molded cable, and helicopter pressure indicators. Additionally, we are now experiencing rapid growth from the development and marketing of new products such as, ZRF Arming Units and programmable power controllers. 

The employees of EDO Artisan are looking forward to meeting the challenges of the future and taking their place in our history, rich in a tradition of success and achievement.
