ASC International, a leading manufacturer of 3-D solder paste inspection and automated optical inspection (AOI) systems, announces the opening of its new corporate office in Medina, MN that now serves more than 2,000 customers worldwide. The new office is conveniently located 30 minutes from MSP Airport at 830 Tower Drive.
With a total footprint of more than 13,000 ft2, the new location offers office space for up to 30 software and design engineers, production, technical service, and administration and sales personnel. Additionally, with a large state-of-the-art conference room, equipment demonstration room, Cleanroom, sensor build area and large production room, the building also offers space for expanding business.
The recent expansion is driven by the new product introduction of the VisionPro M500 and fully automated AP500 SPI systems, a new large board – 22"x26" AV873 AOI platform. Additionally, the agreement to assist SAKI Corporation with distributing its AOI /AXI solutions for the Americas has resulted in a great deal of business, leading to the expansion.
“ASC International has been providing SPI and AOI solutions to customers around the globe since 1992,” said Jon Arneson, President & CTO of ASC International. “Our decision to secure a new building for our operations was made based upon our need to expand due to our ever-increasing demand for our industry- leading products. With full intentions of being a leading provider of both SPI and AOI solutions for another 20 plus years, our large financial investment should demonstrate ASC’s true commitment to our current and future customers.”
