San Diego, CA — February 4, 2026 AMETEK Programmable Power has appointed Transcat, Inc. as its exclusive distributor, certified calibration partner, and rental provider for its programmable power and test systems portfolio throughout the United States and South America. This strategic alignment enhances product availability, accelerates delivery, and expands integrated service support for customers in aerospace, automotive, semiconductor, industrial, data center, and renewable energy markets.
Under the agreement, Transcat will distribute AMETEK Programmable Power’s precision AC/DC power supplies, electronic loads, power subsystems, and compliance test solutions—sold under the Sorensen, Elgar, and California Instruments brands—and will also support the modular instrumentation and data acquisition systems offered through VTI Instruments.
