“N.J. Froment has a strong reputation for innovative, high-quality equipment, and their product range will complement Avtron’s very well,” said John Bertram, vice president of Avtron LoadBank. “We will be able to offer Avtron and Froment customers a broader range of products, as well as service from our plant in the U.S. and the Froment plant in the U.K., which will be retained,” he said. “Froment’s focus on excellent customer service matches that of Avtron’s, and the employees share the same approach to success. The fit is terrific, which will be very positive for the customers of both businesses.”
