Also based in Louisville, Baker Bohnert has over 76 years of experience in the distribution sector and offers expansion joint manufacturing for the power industry.

“This [acquisition] broadens the range of products and services AHP has to offer, plus helps us better penetrate the power generation markets,” AHP Co-CEO Matt Ott said in a July 1 news release.
