Trystar Acquires Salient, Expanding Its Power Distribution Solutions Portfolio

Trystar announces the acquisition of Salient to enhance its electrical power distribution product portfolio. Based in Charlotte NC and with additional manufacturing locations in Mayfield KY, Houston TX, Greeley CO, and Nunn CO, Salient is renowned for its expertise in the design and manufacture of generator docking stations, switchboards, switchgear, control panels, and other automation and control-based power solutions; with a focus on serving the emergent needs of the data center sector, and other commercial and industrial markets.

“The acquisition of Salient complements Trystar's portfolio of high-quality solutions," explained Trystar CEO A.J. Smith. "We provide customizable electrical infrastructure products for power distribution, conversion, conditioning, and backup. Our solutions give customers an edge by allowing them to mitigate power outages proactively. The addition of Salient enhances our power distribution capabilities with their world-class solutions. Both being custom solutions-based businesses, the companies' cultures are also very complementary. Each offers extensive industry experience, customer focus, and a passion for their products and the value they bring to the market.”   

Salient was formed through the merger of Charlotte’s long-standing PSI Power & Controls (a leading manufacturer of custom electrical control panels and emergency power products for over 50 years) and Colorado-based Salient Power Solutions. The two companies have since rebranded as one company, supplying high-quality emergency power products as well as automation and control solutions to the electrical industry. Like Trystar, all of Salient’s products are manufactured in the USA to the highest standards. The trends of electrification and digitalization, as well as the need for resilient, reliable, clean power have led to significant growth at both companies. 

“Salient is excited to join forces with Trystar to bring the advantages of our solutions to more customers and provide them to the broader market," added Brian Kisner, CEO. “Trystar and Salient understand the implication and costs of a power loss. Together, we can help customers minimize the impact of power system events,” concluded Kisner.
