We look forward to incorporating Anchor products into our Controls and Level Sensing Technology (CLT) division and helping them grow.

“As David and I looked to retire, partnering with SJE will allow our products to continue to serve the industry and grow under the SJE family of brands,” said John Potter, president of Anchor Scientific. “We are excited for the future of our products under SJE.”

“We are excited to add the Anchor Scientific products to the existing CLT offerings,” said Ellie Mulcahy, President of CLT Division. “Anchor customers can expect the dependable performance SJE is known for, backed by our scale, innovation, and customer support, while offering these new products to our diverse customer base.”
