Extended Warranty Insurance Program (EWIP)
EMMP is excited to announce our rebranding as the “Extended Warranty Insurance Program" (EWIP), which has been designed to serve as the leading post manufacturers’ extended warranty insurance program for California state agencies, addressing their equipment care and repair needs.
Formerly called the EMMP, the EWIP program allows departments to lower their annual equipment repair expenses, extend the lifespan of equipment, enhance service performance, and offer insurance for covered repair and parts. We look forward to continuing to partner with your department to service your equipment needs with innovative and cost-effective solutions.
