Allied Motion changes corporate name
Allied Motion Technologies Inc., a global designer and manufacturer of precision and specialty motion, controls, and power products and solutions for targeted industries and applications, said shareholders approved its corporate name change to Allient Inc. at a special meeting on August 11.
The new name will be effective August 23 – at the opening of the markets that day, the company’s shares will commence trading under the new ticker ALNT on the Nasdaq.
“The name change builds off the success we have demonstrated in the motion industry and reflects the evolution of our technology portfolio into a broader set of motion, controls and power solutions," said Dick Warzala, chairman and CEO.
