CRANSTON, RI — Taco, Inc., and Potter Electric Signal Company have announced a partnership for the purpose of marketing Potter’s hvac-related products under the Taco name.

Under the private label partnership agreement, Taco will become the exclusive distributor of Potter’s low-water cutoff (LWCO) products as well as its IFS series of industrial flow switches. Both product lines, currently manufactured by Potter’s Industrial Controls Division, have hvac applications and will be marketed as new extensions to Taco’s existing family of electronic and flow control products.

“Both the IFS Series of flow switches and LWCO Series of low-water cutoffs are an excellent complement to Taco’s product line, and boost our offerings on the controls side,” said Tom Lawrence, Taco’s senior vice president of sales and marketing. “This partnership represents a sound match of technical expertise and overlapping market experience, and should prove mutually beneficial.”
