BUFFALO, N.Y. — Allied Motion Technologies Inc., a global designer and manufacturer of precision and specialty motion, controls and power products, announced that shareholders approved its corporate name change to Allient Inc. at a special meeting on Aug. 11.
The new name will be effective Aug. 23; at the opening of the markets that day, the company’s shares will commence trading under the new ticker ALNT on the Nasdaq.
