Avtron LoadBank to join Emerson's ASCO Power Technologies business unit
Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson Florham Park, N.J., says the recently acquired Avtron Loadbank will integrate into its ASCO Power Technologies business. Avtron Loadbank is a designer and manufacturer of high-quality load banks and other testing systems for the standby power generation, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and other power equipment industries. With more than 50 years of experience, Avtron Loadbank, through its Avtron and Froment brands, offers a complete solution to testing power supply systems, including advanced data acquisition, control, and monitoring systems.
In a press release announcing the move, Armand Visioli, president of Emerson Network Power's ASCO Power Technologies business, said, “Avtron Loadbank will complement Emerson's ASCO sales, support and service in business-critical markets such as hospitals, data centers and water treatment facilities. Consulting engineers, contractors and other channel partners now can benefit from a full range of equipment designed to protect facilities from operational discontinuity in the event of an electrical supply interruption.”
