Motion Industries, a distributor of maintenance, repair and operation replacement parts and a provider of industrial technology solutions, signed a purchase agreement to acquire Allied Circuits, an electrical and automation firm. Located in Buffalo, N.Y., Allied Circuits designs, manufactures, and services industrial control panels, electro-mechanical assemblies, robotic automation and integrated solutions. The company, founded in 1987, serves customers in western and upstate New York and Ontario, Canada. End markets include aerospace, automotive, filtration, fluid systems and plumbing, food and beverage, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, process industries, semiconductor and water and wastewater facilities. The company will join Motion’s business unit, Motion Automation Intelligence (Motion Ai).
The addition of Allied Circuits will provide a workforce of skilled workers, ATEX certification capabilities and more than 20,000 square feet of production space to bolster Motion Ai’s presence in the area, expanding to more than 100,000 square feet of production space and 150 people.
“It’s a great match, including the business culture and core values, and we’ve very excited about our customers’ expanded access to even more products and services,” said Chris Scinta, partner at Allied Circuits. “Motion is an industry leader, and we are pleased to integrate employee talents and contribute to the company’s growth.”

This strategic acquisition will create new opportunities for our customers, teammates and supplier partners.”
