Company to begin trading under new ticker symbol

SARASOTA — Helios Technologies, parent company of Sarasota-based Sun Hydraulics, announced that its shareholders approved an amendment to its articles of incorporation to change the name of the corporation to Helios Technologies Inc.

Effective on June 17, Helios Technologies will begin trading on the Nasdaq under its new ticker symbol “HLIO.” Representatives of Helios Technologies rang the Nasdaq Opening Bell June 14 to mark the switch, according to a statement.

A natural progression is the ticker change, to align with our new legal name. We look forward to continuing the successful execution of our strategy under our new identity.”
