Osgood president Tim Luemann said in a statement. “ We are pleased to offer our OEMs, dealers and distribution partners the opportunity to expand their businesses with CDI and Balmar’s technically superior products and industry renowned application support.” 

“We were looking to expand our selling efforts in the upper Midwest marine market, CDI/Balmar sales manager Frank Ahlbin said. “ Further, Balmar products also have growing application in the recreational vehicle market, as lithium batteries are replacing generators on all classes of RVs.
