Dear Fellow Shareholder:

The Annual Meeting of Shareholders will take place on Friday, May 14, 2021 at 9:00 A.M. Eastern Time. Due to the continuing impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the Company's concern for its employees and shareholders, we have decided to hold our 2021 Annual Meeting solely by live webcast. We anticipate that we will revert back to an in-person annual meeting in future years after public health conditions have improved.

The Stockholder Meeting Notice and Proxy Statement describe the matters to be acted upon during the meeting and provides instructions for voting as well as attending the virtual meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting online, we recommend that you vote by proxy in advance so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to participate in the Annual Meeting.

If you have any questions in regard to completing your proxy, please call our Corporate Secretary, Bernadine E. Kucinski (716) 655-5990.

Your continued interest and support is very much appreciated.

Sincerely,
/s/ Kenneth D. Trbovich

PROXY STATEMENT FOR

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD May 14, 2021

The following information is furnished in connection with the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Servotronics, Inc. (the 'Company') to be held on May 14, 2021 at 9:00 A.M. Eastern Time. The meeting can be accessed by visiting www.meetingcenter.io/268673260 and entering the password SVT2021. This proxy statement summarizes the information you need to know to vote by proxy or to virtually attend and vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. You do not need to virtually attend the Annual Meeting in order to vote.

Attending the Annual Meeting virtually on the Internet

If you are a shareholder of record (i.e. you hold your shares registered in your name through Computershare Trust Company, N.A. our transfer agent and registrar), you do not need to register in advance to participate in the Annual Meeting, vote electronically or submit questions during the meeting. Questions pertinent to meeting matters will be answered during the meeting, subject to time constraints. Please follow the instructions on the 'Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials' (the 'Notice'). You will need to enter your 15-digit control number that appears on your Notice or proxy card. You may also attend the meeting by visiting www.meetingcenter.io/268673260 as a 'guest' but will not have the option to vote shares electronically or submit questions during the virtual meeting.

If you hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a broker, bank or other nominee, and you want to vote electronically or submit questions during the virtual meeting, you must register in advance.

To register to attend the Annual Meeting virtually on the Internet, you must obtain a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares. The legal proxy will show your holdings in Company Common Stock with your name. You must forward a copy of the legal proxy reflecting your Company holdings along with your name and email address to Computershare according to the below instructions.

Requests for registration should be directed as follows:

· By email: Forward the email from your broker, or attach an image of your legal proxy, to [email protected]
· By mail: Computershare, Servotronics, Inc. Legal Proxy, P.O. Box 43001 Providence, RI 02940-3001.

Requests for registration must be labeled as 'Legal Proxy' and be received no later than 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on May 7, 2021. You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email after Computershare receives your registration materials.

Beneficial owners that are unable to register in advance may still attend the meeting by visiting www.meetingcenter.io/268673260 as a 'guest' but will not have the option to vote shares electronically or submit questions during the virtual meeting.

We encourage you to access the meeting in advance of the designated start time.

Available Information

Under rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC'), the Company has chosen to provide its shareholders with the choice of accessing the Annual Meeting proxy materials on the Internet, rather than receiving printed copies of those materials through the mail. In connection with this process, a Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials (the 'Notice') is being mailed to the Company's shareholders who have not previously requested electronic access to its proxy materials or printed proxy materials. The Notice contains instructions on how you may access and review the Company's proxy materials on the Internet and how you may vote your shares over the Internet. The Notice will also tell you how to request the Company's proxy materials, in either printed form or by email, at no charge. The Notice contains a control number that you will need to vote your shares. We suggest you keep the Notice for your reference through the meeting date.

SOLICITATION AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES

The Annual Meeting of Shareholders is being solicited by the Directors of the Company. The proxy may be revoked by a shareholder at any time prior to the exercise thereof by filing with the Corporate Secretary of the Company a written revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date. The cost of soliciting the proxies will be paid by the Company. Proxies may be solicited by employees of the Company (who will receive no additional compensation therefor) personally or by telephone or other electronic communications. Arrangements may be made with banks, brokerage houses and other institutions, nominees and/or fiduciaries to forward the soliciting material to their principals and to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies. The Company may, upon request, reimburse banks, brokerage houses and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries for their expenses in forwarding proxy material to their principals.

VOTING INFORMATION

The record date for determining shares entitled to vote has been fixed at the close of business on March 25, 2021. On such date there were outstanding 2,478,507 shares of common stock of the Company, $.20 par value ('Common Stock'), entitled to one vote each.

In order to conduct the Annual Meeting, the presence, in person or by properly executed proxy, of the holders of a majority (i.e., greater than 50%) of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum. Directors will be elected by a plurality of all the votes cast at the 2021 Annual Meeting with each share being voted for as many individuals as there are Directors to be elected. Ratification of the appointment of Freed Maxick CPAs, P.C. as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the 2021 fiscal year requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast.

- 5 -

We do not expect any other items of business because the deadline for shareholder proposals and nominations has passed. Nonetheless, in case there is an unforeseen need, your proxy gives discretionary authority to Kenneth D. Trbovich and Bernadine E. Kucinski with respect to any other matters that might be brought before the Annual Meeting. Those persons intend to vote that proxy in accordance with their best judgment.

Shares of Common Stock represented virtually during the live webcast or by a properly completed proxy will be treated as present at the meeting for the purposes of determining a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will each be counted as present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting.

You may vote in the following ways:

· Virtually during the Annual Meeting: See the instructions above under 'Attending the Annual Meeting virtually on the Internet.'
· By mail: Complete and sign your proxy card and return it by mail in the enclosed business reply envelope. If you mark your voting instructions on the proxy card, your shares will be voted as you instruct. If you sign and return your proxy card without marking voting instructions, your shares will be voted FOR the election of each of the director nominees identified in this proxy statement and FOR the ratification of the Audit Committee's appointment of Freed Maxick CPAs, P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2021.
· By telephone: To vote your shares by telephone, call the toll-free telephone number on your proxy card. You must have a touch-tone or cellular telephone to use this voting method. You will need to follow the instructions on your proxy card and the voice prompts to vote your shares.
· Over the Internet: You may go to the website listed on your proxy card to vote your shares over the Internet. You will need to follow the instructions on your proxy card and the website to vote your shares.

Telephone and Internet voting options are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The deadline for voting by telephone or the Internet is 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on May 13, 2021. When prompted, you will need to enter the 15-digit control number as shown on your Notice. You will then be able to vote your shares and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. If you vote by telephone or over the Internet, your vote authorizes the proxies in the same manner as if you had signed, dated and returned your proxy card by mail. Telephone and Internet voting procedures, including the use of control numbers found on the Notice, are designed to authenticate shareholders' identities, to allow shareholders to vote their shares securely and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded.

- 6 -

If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or other nominee will ask you how you want your shares to be voted. If you provide voting instructions, your shares must be voted as you direct. If you do not furnish voting instructions, one of two things can happen, depending upon whether a proposal is 'routine.' Under the rules that govern brokers who have record ownership of shares beneficially owned by their clients, brokers have discretion to cast votes on routine matters, such as the ratification of the choice of auditor, without receiving voting instructions from their clients. Brokers are not permitted, however, to cast votes on 'non-routine' matters, such as the election of directors, or executive compensation matters, without receiving client voting instructions. A 'broker non-vote' occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting authority for that proposal and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. The proposal to approve the ratification of the Audit Committee's appointment of Freed Maxick CPAs, P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2021 is the only routine matter being voted on at the Annual Meeting and, therefore, is the only proposal that may be voted by your broker, bank or other nominee in its discretion without having received voting instructions from you.

If you hold your shares in street name, you may vote by telephone or over the Internet only if your bank, broker or other nominee makes those methods available to you, in which case your broker, bank or other nominee will provide specific instructions for using those options.

The Directors recommend a vote FOR the five nominees listed above. Unless instructed otherwise, proxies will be voted FOR these nominees.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS

Independent Directors

Under the NYSE American listing standards, at least 50% of the Company's directors must meet the test of 'independence' as defined by the NYSE American. The NYSE American standards provide that, to qualify as an 'independent' director, in addition to satisfying certain bright-line criteria, the Board of Directors must affirmatively determine that a director has no relationship with the Company that would interfere with such person's ability to exercise independent judgment as a member of the Company's Board.

The Board of Directors has determined that each current director and nominee is independent other than Kenneth D. Trbovich, the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Edward C. Cosgrove, whose firm has provided legal services to the Company and its subsidiaries. In determining that Mr. Bear was 'independent', the Board considered the fact that the Company and its subsidiaries paid approximately $57,140 and $71,160 to Full-Throttle Communications, Inc. in 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Committees and Meeting Data

The Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each member of each of these committees is 'independent' as that term is defined in the NYSE American listing standards. The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Gygax and Marks with Mr. Marks chairing the Committee and being designated as the Company's 'Audit Committee financial expert'. The Audit Committee meets with the Company's Independent Auditors and reviews with them matters relating to corporate financial reporting and accounting procedures and policies, the adequacy of financial, accounting and operating controls, the scope of the audit and the results of the audit. The Audit Committee is also charged with the responsibility of submitting to the Board of Directors any recommendations it may have from time to time with respect to financial reporting and accounting practices, policies and financial accounting and operation controls and safeguards.

The Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Gygax, Bear and Marks with Mr. Gygax chairing the Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending appropriate executive compensation policy and determining the compensation of the Company's Directors and Executive Officers.

- 10 -

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of Messrs. Bear, Gygax and Marks with Mr. Bear chairing the Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for (a) developing and implementing policies and procedures that are intended to ensure that the Board will be appropriately constituted and organized to meet its fiduciary obligations to the Company and its shareholders; and (b) identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board, and to select, or to recommend that the Board select, the director nominees for the next annual meeting of shareholders.

The full Board of Directors approves/ratifies all Director nominees after they are determined by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. See 'Director Nominating Process' below. Additionally, Director and Executive Officer compensation determinations are subsequently submitted to the full Board of Directors for approval/ratification.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Board of Directors held seven meetings. The Audit Committee met five times, the Compensation Committee met two times and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met one time. No Director attended less than 100% of the meetings held during the period that each individual served as a Director. Each Director is encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In 2020, the Annual Meeting of Shareholders was attended by five Directors then in or elected to office.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the 'Code') that applies to all Directors, Officers and employees of the Company as required by the listing standards of the NYSE American. The Code is available on the Company's website at www.servotronics.com and the Company intends to disclose on this website any amendment to the Code. Waivers under the Code, if any, will be disclosed under the rules of the SEC and the NYSE American.

The Company also has a Whistleblower Policy, which is incorporated into the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that requires Directors, Executive Officers and employees to comply with appropriate accounting and internal controls and establishes procedures to report any perceived wrongdoing, questionable accounting or auditing matters in a confidential and anonymous manner.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

The following Report of the Audit Committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other filing by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Report by reference therein.

The Audit Committee serves as the representative of the Board of Directors for general oversight of the Company's financial accounting and reporting, systems of internal control, audit process and monitoring compliance with standards of business conduct. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter which is available on the Company's website at www.servotronics.com. Management of the Company has primary responsibility for preparing financial statements of the Company as well as the Company's financial reporting process. Freed Maxick CPAs, P.C. ('Freed Maxick'), acting as Independent Auditors, is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the Company's audited financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

- 11 -

In this context, the Audit Committee hereby reports as follows:

1. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for fiscal year 2020 with the Company's Management.
2. The Audit Committee has discussed with the Independent Auditors the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 1301 Communications with Audit Committees, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and other matters required by the Charter of the Audit Committee.
3. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the Independent Auditors required by PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence, and has discussed with Freed Maxick the matter of that firm's independence.
4. Based on the review and discussion referred to in paragraphs (1) through (3) above, the Audit Committee approved that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each member of the Audit Committee is independent as defined under the listing standards of the NYSE American.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Christopher M. Marks, Chair

Lucion P. Gygax

Leadership Structure

Kenneth D. Trbovich is the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The Company believes that having one person hold the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer is the most effective way at this time to organize the leadership structure of the Board of Directors. Having one person hold the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer promotes unified leadership and direction for the Board and executive management and it allows for a single and clear focus for the chain of command to execute the Company's strategic initiatives and business plans. Because Mr. Trbovich is primarily responsible for managing the Company's day-to-day operations and strategic plan implementations, he is in the best position to chair meetings of the Board of Directors where key business and strategic issues are discussed.

- 12 -

Another component of our leadership structure is the active role played by non- management and independent Directors in overseeing the Company's business, both at the Board and Committee level. The Board believes that the combined role of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer coupled with the existence of the independent Directors is the appropriate leadership structure for the Board of Directors at this time. This structure provides sufficient independent oversight while avoiding unnecessary confusion regarding the Board's oversight responsibilities and the day-to-day management of the Company's business operations and strategic plan implementations. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee periodically reviews this structure to assess its effectiveness on a continuing basis.

Board Oversight of Risk Management

The Board of Directors oversees the Company's risk management process. This oversight is primarily accomplished through the Board's committees and management's reporting processes. The Company does not have a formal risk committee; however, the Audit Committee focuses on risk related to accounting, internal controls and financial and tax reporting. The Audit Committee also assesses economic and business risks and monitors compliance with ethical standards. The Compensation Committee identifies and oversees risks associated with the Company's executive compensation policies and practices and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews Director independence, related party transactions and the implementation of corporate governance policies.

Director Nominating Process

The determination of the individuals to be nominated for the Board of Directors is made by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. This determination is then subsequently submitted to the full Board of Directors for approval/ratification.

The Board has not adopted specific minimum criteria for director nominees. Nominees are identified by first evaluating the current members of the Board willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to the Company's business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of the Board does not wish to continue in service, the Board first considers the appropriateness of the size of the Board and then considers factors that it deems are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders in identifying and evaluating a new nominee. Consistent with the concept of diversity, the Company recognizes the value of having a Board that encompasses a broad range of skills, expertise, contacts, industry knowledge and diversity of opinion.

The Board will consider director nominees from any reasonable source, including nominees suggested by incumbent Board Members and Management as well as Shareholder recommendations tendered in accordance with the Company's advance notice provisions. The Company does not currently employ an executive search firm, or pay a fee to any other third party, to locate qualified candidates for director positions.

- 13 -

Directors' Compensation

The Company's Non-employee Director Compensation Policy provides that Non- employee Directors are paid an annual cash retainer of $60,000, payable in twelve monthly installments, plus reimbursement of actual expenses for attendance at Board or Committee meetings. Non-employees Directors also receive an annual award of restricted stock under the Company's 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The annual award consists of shares of the Company's common stock with a value of $25,000 as of the date of the grant. These restricted shares will vest quarterly over the 12-month service period.

The following table contains information with respect to the total compensation paid to the Non-employee Directors for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Box 300, Elma, New York 14059. Correspondence directed to an individual Board member will be referred, if appropriate, to that member.

The Compensation Process Overview

The Compensation Committee determines the compensation of the Company's Executive Officers in accordance with the NYSE American listing standards with the Chief Executive Officer playing a supporting role in the compensation-setting process for the Company's other Executive Officers. The most significant aspects of management's role are evaluating employee performance, recommending business performance targets and objectives, and recommending salary levels and other compensation awards, however final compensation determinations for all Executive Officers are approved by the Compensation Committee and ratified by the Board.

Base Salary

The Compensation Committee seeks to provide the Company's Executive Officers with a level of assured cash compensation in the form of base salary that is commensurate with their professional status, accomplishments and geographic location. The base salaries are reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee and are adjusted from time to time to recognize competitive market data, the officer's level of responsibility, outstanding individual performance, promotions and internal equity considerations. For the year ended December 31, 2020, base salary paid to each Named Officer is as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table.

Annual Bonus

The Company also makes cash awards to the Executive Officers and other employees that are not part of any pre-established, performance-based criteria. Awards of this type are completely discretionary and subjectively determined by the Compensation Committee at the time they are awarded. In the event this type of cash award is made, it is reflected in the 'Summary Compensation Table' under a separate column entitled 'Bonus'. The Compensation Committee approved mid-year bonuses for each Named Officer in August 2020 as shown in the Summary Compensation Table.

Equity Awards

Pursuant to the 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as approved by the Company's shareholders, the Compensation Committee may grant equity awards, the vesting of which may be based on the passage of time, achievement of performance conditions or vesting conditions otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee. No equity awards were granted in 2020.

PROPOSAL 2:

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Representatives of Freed Maxick have been invited to be present at the meeting and will have the opportunity to provide a statement. Due to the change in the meeting format, Freed Maxick will not have the opportunity to respond to shareholder questions.

At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to ratify the selection of Freed Maxick as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Audit Committee has the direct responsibility to appoint, retain, fix the compensation and oversee the work of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. In the event that the shareholders fail to ratify the selection, it will be considered as a direction to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal, assuming a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, is required to ratify the appointment of Freed Maxick. The Directors of the Company unanimously recommend a vote 'FOR' the ratification of Freed Maxick as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2021. Unless otherwise instructed, proxies will be voted 'FOR' ratification of the appointment of Freed Maxick.
