Richardson, TX (Feb. 28, 2006) — ASSET InterTech Inc., (www.asset-intertech.com) an international leader in boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1/JTAG) test and in-system programming (ISP), has launched its own Boundary-Scan Technology Center in Shanghai, China. The new center is staffed by ASSET employees who will coordinate all of the company's technical support and sales activities in Asia. In addition, the company plans to use its Asian offices as a research and development center in the future.

Fred Runco is Director of Asian Business Development, Wee Loon Soh is Technical Support manager and Alex Ou has been named Sales Manager for China and Taiwan. The Asian Boundary-Scan Technology Center is located at 1440 Yan An Road (C), Suite 401, Shanghai, China 200040. The telephone number is 86-21-610-31670.

“Electronics manufacturers in China and the rest of Asia have made product quality a top priority and they are increasingly considering boundary-scan test as an important way of ensuring the quality of the systems they manufacture,” Alan Sguigna, ASSET’s vice president of sales and marketing said. “ASSET has always committed significant resources to customer support and we have been able to develop longstanding relationships with many of our users as a result. We expect to do the same in Asia.”

ASSET’s easy yet powerful ScanWorks® boundary-scan test and ISP environment is currently used by leading electronics companies such as Huawei, PuTian, CETC, Cisco, Lucent Technologies, Agilent, BAE, Alcatel, Hewlett-Packard, Ericsson, Intel, Raytheon, SBS, Solectron, Rockwell Collins, EMC and others.

“Having a direct support center in Asia is a distinct advantage,” said Fred Runco, ASSET’s Asian business director. “We can be very responsive to our customers’ needs and fully support them as they deploy boundary-scan technology throughout their operations. In the future, we will take advantage of the technical talent in Asia and evolve this office into a product development center for ASSET.”
