Who we Are
John Carter, founder of EFD, started the company in 1963 with $1000 from the basement of his Rhode Island home. From humble beginnings, the Electron Fusion Devices company grew to become a leading producer of precision industrial dispensing syringes and valves. In 2000, EFD was acquired by the Nordson Corporation of Westlake, Ohio. Over the past 60 years, Nordson EFD has transformed from a niche provider focused on solving metal joining challenges for jewelry designers to manufacturing precision dispensing and fluid packaging systems that apply accurate, consistent amounts of the adhesives, sealants, lubricants, and other assembly fluids used in virtually every manufacturing process.
Nordson EFD has helped thousands of companies achieve these benefits with benchtop dispensers for manual assembly processes, dispense valves for automated production lines, automated dispensing systems, and the highest quality dispensing tips, syringe barrels, and other disposable components in the industry. EFD products also include high-quality solder pastes for improving productivity in surface mount and electromechanical manufacturing processes, and the unique MicroCoat® system, which is changing the way lubricants are applied in the metal stamping industry.
Sales and service are available in more than 40 countries through a network of local EFD offices and authorized distributors.
