DENVER, COLORADO -- ALLIED MOTION TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (NASDAQ: AMOT), formerly Hathaway Corporation (NASDAQ: HATH), will begin trading under the NASDAQ Symbol AMOT today.

Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Allied Motion, formerly Hathaway, designs, manufactures and sells motion control products into applications that serve many industry sectors. With subsidiaries in the United States and United Kingdom, Allied Motion is a leading supplier of precision and specialty motion control components and systems to a broad spectrum of customers throughout the world.
