In addition to extending our capabilities in the clean power industry, SNC will provide us broader and deeper reach into industrial automation, defence, medical and in the energy and alternative energy markets. The business will also provide expanded opportunities to leverage sales channels and, additionally, we will gain much-needed manufacturing capacity and expertise to further grow our power quality business. And lastly, we are confident that through the utilization of Allient Systematic Tools we are in a good position to leverage our expertise to drive productivity and margin improvements over time.

“We are honoured that John Vette III, selected Allient to carry the legacy of SNC forward after owning and leading the company for 50+ years.
