Control system supplier SJE, Inc. has acquired Anchor Scientific, Inc. — a manufacturer and distributor of switches and controllers for the water and wastewater industry. The acquisition expands SJE’s portfolio of liquid level floats and related products, growing its presence within the municipal, commercial, and residential markets. The Anchor Scientific acquisition marks SJE’s eighth acquisition since 2021 and first in 2026.

Founded in 1965 and run by brothers John and David Potter, Anchor Scientific produces and distributes a wide range of float switches and other products from its facility in Long Lake, MN.

“Anchor Scientific is a great addition to the SJE portfolio of brands and products,” said Bjorn Haldorsen, CEO of SJE. “Adding these products expands SJE’s market reach, providing new customers with the SJE support and capabilities we are known for from our other SJE brands. We look forward to incorporating Anchor products into our Controls and Level Sensing Technology (CLT) division and helping them grow.

“As David and I looked to retire, partnering with SJE will allow our products to continue to serve the industry and grow under the SJE family of brands,” added John Potter, President of Anchor Scientific. “We are excited for the future of our products under SJE.”

Headquartered in Detroit Lakes, MN, SJE offers a wide variety of control products for residential, commercial, municipal, water, wastewater and industrial markets. The company has locations throughout the United States, Mexico and Asia.
