Servotronics, Inc. announced today that it has completed the sale of the assets of its subsidiary, Queen Cutlery Company, a Pennsylvania facility located in Titusville, Pennsylvania, to Kenneth R. Daniels of Daniels Family Cutlery Corporation that will be doing business as Queen Cutlery Company. 

The sale of assets was part of a previously reported long-term strategic effort to enhance profit margins through the elimination of certain select components/products. The Company is in the process of further evaluating existing product lines and the consolidation of facilities.
