Wallingford energy management firm acquired

Horizon Bradco of Schenectady, N.Y. has acquired Wallingford refrigeration and HVAC installer and repairer Allied Mechanical Services as well as its energy management sister company New England Controls, in order to grow the Horizon’s presence in southern New England.

The move adds 35 licensed refrigeration mechanics to Horizon’s team of 70 food equipment technicians. Horizon has been expanding over the last 18 months, acquiring Burke Food Equipment of South Carolina last month and Massachusetts food equipment provider Foley & Wallace in January 2014.

The terms of the deal with Allied Mechanical and New England Controls were not disclosed.

Both Allied and New England Controls will keep all their employees, retain their Wallingford location, and operate under their existing brand names.
