ASSTech Instrumentation to move offices
October 2006
News
As of October 2006, ASSTech Instrumentation will be accommodated in new wholly owned premises, situated at APD Industrial Park, Elsecar Road, Kyasand.
Due to staff expansion and a policy to hold stock of all fast moving products, the new office and warehouse is double in size of the former Northriding offices.
ASSTech celebrates 10 years of operation this year and was established by Anastas Schnippenkotter with two overseas agencies. Today, with seven top class principals on board and eight staff, ASSTech has effectively doubled turnover each year.
This steady expansion is attributed to a 'hands-on' approach of providing the correct technical advice combined with quality product supply and firm aftersales service.
Overseas manufacturers represented are: Gantner data acquisition, controller and datalogger modules; Inducoder shaft encoders; Wenglor opto-laser and inductive sensors; Rechner capacitive, inductive, opto-electronic, caloremetric flow and magneto resistive sensors; Burster calibration and test equipment; Jumo analytical, bus and data acquisition systems and Astech speed, position, length, width and displacement measurement.
Apart from product supply, ASSTech undertakes dedicated system design for specialised applications.
