3 October 2007 News

Universal Instruments has announced the appointment of Test & Rework Solutions (TRS) to support its sales operations in South Africa. The move is part of the corporation's stated goal of augmenting its own salesforce in all key territories in order to strengthen its customer-focused infrastructure.

With its head office in Johannesburg, TRS has over 25 years experience in the test and measurement industry and is a comprehensive supplier of production automation to the electronics and associated industries. Products range from PCB assembly, automatic optical and X-ray inspection, reflow solder, screen printing, precision liquid dispensing, cable preparation, robotic soldering and robotic assembly as well as cleaning systems.

Under the new long-term agreement, TRS will assume sales and service responsibility of Universal's flexible SMD assembly equipment to the South African market, including the Genesis-Lightning high-speed chip placement and AdVantis platforms.

"We will work closely with TRS to ensure we deliver increased customer value in all our long-term collaborative sales and support initiatives and that customers enjoy the highest possible standards of service," says Ray Doherty, Universal Instruments' regional sales manager.
