The London-listed company said the acquisition, which is expected to be earnings enhancing from 2016, was on a debt and cash free basis and was funded with a new US$12.0m term debt facility.
Based in Northern California and with manufacturing operations in Nevada, EMCO supplies the industrial and medical sectors with a broad range of standard, modified and custom high voltage products, XP Power said.
In the year ended 31 December 2014, EMCO recorded sales of US$7.9m.
XP added that the US-based group will bring a number of new customers as well as a product offering suitable for an array of applications used by some of its existing customer base.
"The acquisition will enable us to provide our existing customers with a comprehensive product offering in high voltage technologies, a market segment with robust demand fundamentals but one in which we did not previously specialise," said group chief executive Duncan Penny.
"We are confident that EMCO will have a very successful future as part of XP Power."
