Founded in 1921 by Edmund Copeland in Detroit, MI. In 1937, the company was relocated to Sidney, OH, when four of the company’s engineers purchased the business and its compressor patent. Emerson acquired Copeland in 1986 and made significant investments in the development of a new scroll compressor that the Copeland company had been working on. The following year, Emerson introduced the first scroll compressor sold under the Copeland brand.
