FEMA is delighted to support this growing trend of electrification power for transportation. –chargepoin+ offers hundreds of thousands of places to charge with one account to access them in North America and Europe. After delivering over 88 million charges (and counting) they are pioneering new ways to make electric mobility the easy choice.

The new FEMA Corporation building site in Otsego, MI has been cleared, temporary construction power brought in, stumps removed, topsoil stripped, footers poured, and building frame erected. After several expansions in Southwest Michigan and maximizing the campus in Portage, the location in Otsego was chosen as a key factor in FEMA’s long term strategy. Our growth in both domestic and international markets has created the need for another campus. Read more detail in our 5/22/2020 announcement below.

FEMA Corporation, with headquarters in Portage, MI is pleased to announce the ground breaking for a new facility located at 555 Washington Street in Otsego, MI.

The frictionless armature of FEMA Corporation’s electro-hydraulic (EH) transmission control valve provides low hysteresis, eliminates wear surfaces and extends the expected duty life cycle. The two stage, pilot operated pressure control EH valve is highly adaptive. The pilot stage design includes high clearances which enables it to function in relatively higher contaminated environment. The main stage design floats to ensure alignment. It can accommodate a simple Direct Current signal resulting in precise control with no dither requirements.

For an unprecedented sixth year in a row, FEMA Corporation has been certified by Caterpillar as a platinum level supplier through the company's Supplier Quality Excellence Process (SQEP).
