We look forward to working with the great team at Lebanon Power.”

Besides the facilities, tha acquisition adds 44 new employees to AHP. Tim Clark will remain General Manager of the Lebanon Power Division of AHP.

Louisville, Kentucky-based AHP serves Kentucky, southern Indiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida panhandle, West Virginia and southeastern Ohio with a range of hydraulics, pneumatics, electrical automation and hose and fittings products and services. AHP has 24 locations and over 300 employees.
