The transaction builds further scale in Tavoron’s Automation Distribution segment and represents the second add-on acquisition since being acquired by Fusion Capital Partners.

EAGAN, MN, Jan. 29, 2026 — Tavoron, a national leader in industrial automation, robotics, compressed air, motion control and engineered solutions, today announced the acquisition of Seltrol, Inc., along with its subsidiary B.W.

The acquisition strengthens Tavoron’s automation component offerings and expands its geographic reach across the Southeastern United States.

For more than 35 years, Seltrol and B.W. Clark have supported manufacturers and industrial operations with high-quality automation components and trusted technical support. Together, the companies specialize in factory automation controls, motion and sensing products, panel-level components, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), device-level bus technologies and related engineering assistance.

The acquisition of Seltrol and B.W. Clark supports Tavoron’s strategy to deliver integrated, end-to-end automation solutions that combine mechanical, electrical, control and robotic technologies. By incorporating the companies’ complementary product portfolios and technical experience, Tavoron further enhances its ability to serve OEMs, manufacturers and industrial facilities seeking modernized, efficient production systems.

“Seltrol and B.W. Clark bring a strong reputation for technical knowledge, customer service and trusted product expertise; qualities that align directly with Tavoron’s mission to elevate industrial operations across North America,” said Nicholas Martino, CEO of Tavoron. “This acquisition fits seamlessly into our Automation Distribution segment, led by Scott Wojciak, expanding our automation portfolio and strengthening our presence in the Southeast. As a result, we’re able to deliver even more comprehensive solutions to our customers.”

“We are excited to join Tavoron and provide our customers with access to a wider range of technologies, services and engineering resources,” said Chris Bond, president of Seltrol, Inc. “Our team remains committed to delivering the same responsive support we’re known for, now backed by a broader platform and expanded capabilities.”
Seltrol will continue operating from its headquarters in Greenville, South Carolina, with B.W. Clark maintaining operations from West Columbia, South Carolina. Both companies will retain their local teams, customer relationships and high-touch service models while integrating into Tavoron’s broader automation business.
