Asymtek Appoints Trans-Tec New Distributor in South East Asia

Carlsbad, CA — Asymtek has formed an exclusive partnership with South East Asia distributor Trans-Technology Pte Ltd. (Trans-Tec) to market their dispensing equipment throughout Singapore and Malaysia. Headquartered in Singapore, Trans-Tec also has offices in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Trans-Tec's extensive industry contacts, along with its experienced staff and network of strategically located offices, will facilitate Asymtek's expansion into Singapore and Malaysia.

"Trans-Tec is one of South East Asia’s most respected and experienced suppliers of capital equipment to the electronics industry," explains Glen Gibbs, Asymtek General Manager, Asia Pacific. "We strongly believe that our customers will benefit from their vast experience with dispensing equipment, applications support, and industry-leading training programs. We look forward to a long and successful relationship," Gibbs says.

Trans-Tec will provide Asymtek customers with full service customer support, including sales, service, training, applications support, and spare parts. They will also work closely with Asymtek’s Southeast Asia Business Manager, N.S. Ng, and Regional Sales Manager Ng Eng Cheok (E.C. Ng), to provide tradeshow and seminar support.
