Based in Manchester, New Hampshire, KRL/Bantry has manufactured high-quality power and precision wirewound resistors for over 40 years to serve power supply and instrumentation applications across a range of industries including medical, avionics and telecoms.
The company has become an established leader in specialty items such as temperature-sensing probes, wirewound resistor networks, cold-junction compensation networks and resistance standards.
The acquisition will significantly enhance Riedon’s offering across these key areas while enabling it to further expand its product lines to KRL/Bantry’s existing customer base to provide them with an even more comprehensive set of solutions.
“Wirewound resistors continue to offer significant advantages over alternatives in many applications,” said Frieda Hovsepian, VP Sales & Marketing at Riedon. “This acquisition further strengthens our position worldwide as the leading manufacturer in this evolving market and enables us to continue to meet our customers’ needs through an even wider range of products, including custom design resistors that can be tailored to meet their specific requirements.”
