Ray O'Dell, Assembleon's general sales manager in the UK and Ireland, comments: "Through this new partnership, Assembleon leverages an existing customer base and a thriving sales and service team eager to do business in the UK.

We believe Kaisertech will gain advantage from a product range which complements its current offering and opens up opportunities for total manufacturing solutions.

The combination of Kaisertech's sales team with direct support from Assembleon will enable us to deliver the optimum service to the UK electronics manufacturing community at all levels".
