We see tremendous synergies by putting our two companies together. We look forward to the continued growth of the two businesses,” said Josh Clare, the chief executive officer of Hawk.
Doug Grunnet, the president of ALM said, “The key to our rapid growth and industry acceptance has been the innovative product design of its positioners and a commitment to our customers’ needs and requirements. The ongoing operation of ALM Positioners as an independent subsidiary of Hawk Technology enhances both companies’ opportunities to respond to expanding customer requests and continued superior distributor support.”
