EMP was ignited in 1998 when Dan Stanton, who was studying for a PhD, was approached by a special effects company in need of a bespoke electronic solution for a feature film. Dan couldn’t rest until a solution was found! The success of this project led to further unresolved ideas coming his way. The buzz of solving real electronic problems was too addictive. Dan left his studies and set up a studio in his back garden.
Through word-of-mouth, EMP Designs has continued to grow and now occupies a 3000 square foot industrial unit and office based at Farnborough Airport employing a team of 5. The company offers truly creative thinking and diverse engineering know-how from a breadth of experience. The belief is, anything is possible…
With a degree in industrial design and technology, Dan‘s dream was to turn his enthusiasm for inventing and developing new products, playing with LEDs and general tinkering into a functioning business. Now Dan is the customer front man of EMP - gaining and analysing the initial information. He’s a creative thinker, full of ideas, with extensive experience across digital and analog design, custom circuit board layout, microprocessor programming, motion control and industrial servo controls, amongst other areas. This diverse technical knowledge allows him to solve a vast range of problems and offer a comprehensive package rather than just one element of it. Dan stays abreast of all new technologies, mainly because he can’t help himself, and he takes data sheets home for bedtime reading.
