McGregor forecasts a number of significant announcements to follow in the near future. “We have had several initiatives under way in product and service development recently. As our organizational changes settle in, you can expect to see these come to fruition. We’re very excited about some new Sommers’ residential stand-by power products being introduced, as well as products and services for our industrial systems. We’ll be moving quickly to keep our commitments to the Sommers dealer network and to all Sommers customers.”
