Together with its recent acquisition of Side By Side Stuff, Nivel’s purchase of Seizmik positions Nivel Specialty Vehicles as an important player in the B2B and B2C UTV market. “Nivel has been looking at the UTV market for some time and we couldn’t be happier to have found such a solid and innovative partner as Seizmik,” stated Brent Moore, CEO of Nivel.
