Country Business Reports interviews and articles by Discovery Reports www.discoveryreports.com
A recipient of the Taiwan government’s coveted Rising Star Award and National Award of Outstanding Small and Medium Enterprises, Symtek Automation Asia (SAA) has proven itself as a front runner in providing intelligent automation integration services in the semiconductor industry. These include flat panel display, liquid crystal display, solar, printed circuit board (PCB), integrated circuit substrate, and major electronics companies across the region, especially in China.
Formerly known as Schmid Automation Asia, SAA was established in October 1999, endowed with German traditions. It was listed on the Taipei Exchange last year. The company is headquartered in Zhongli, Taoyuan City, and has five different business units – electronics, photonics, semiconductor and two operating arms in Dongguan and Kunshan in China.
We want to help our customers lower their production costs through intelligent logistics flow and data analysis
Wang Nien-ching, general manager
To streamline production, SAA customises and integrates its automation systems into the process and advances its technologies and innovation through new solutions development, such as the IEM Clever Box.
