(Lenexa, KS – March 2025) – SOR Controls Group is pleased to announce that Bestobell Aquatronix has been appointed as the exclusive representative for its nuclear products in Ontario, Canada. This marks the first nuclear-focused representative hired by SOR in many years, reinforcing the company’s commitment to serving the nuclear industry.
Bestobell Aquatronix, established in 1953 as the Canadian office of Bestobell Mobrey, has a long-standing reputation for excellence in instrumentation products, initially serving the petrochemical, power, and shipbuilding industries. Over the years, the company expanded into water/waste, mineral processing, and general process industries, becoming a recognized innovator and leader. In 2002, Bestobell acquired Aquatronix to enhance its analytical capabilities, and today, it operates as an independent, management-owned Canadian company.
SOR Eastern Regional Manager, David Oliver, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “I have known Bestobell Aquatronix for many years, having first met some of their team during a product training session. They are highly skilled sales professionals with a strong technical background and a keen eye for reading specifications. Their dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction makes them an ideal partner for SOR.”
Bestobell President Nick Hribar highlighted the synergy between the two companies, saying, “SOR is a widely respected manufacturer of pressure and level switches, known for designing highly reliable instruments. We selected SOR Controls Group because of the combined strength of their two brands — SOR and PYRAGON—which have strong acceptance in the nuclear industry.”
With this partnership, SOR Controls Group and Bestobell Aquatronix are well-positioned to provide top-tier instrumentation solutions to the Ontario nuclear market, ensuring reliability and safety in critical applications.
