Portland, OR – Tualatin-based distributor SemiTorr (www.semitorrinc.com) today announced that it has acquired the distribution businesses of Aztech (www.aztechcontrols.com), headquartered in Chandler, AZ, which serve high purity and industrial markets throughout the southwestern United States.

With the acquisition of Aztech’s distribution businesses, SemiTorr will become the leading specialty distributor in the Southwest, serving high purity, sanitary and industrial customers throughout the region.

Pat Frazier, Aztech’s President, said, “Our strengths and Semitorr’s strengths mix perfectly. Semitorr is acquiring Aztech, but Aztech also picked Semitorr. ”
