CHESTER:  What was the story behind launching the company?

ETSNA: The Telecom industry was trying to manufacture radiax cable as rapidly as possible with the expansion of cell phone use in the early 2000’s. AME developed a high-speed process that made it capable to manufacture cable at an increased ratio of 100/1 times conventional manufacturing processes.

The increase in manufacturing was amplified by the demand on solutions to integrated circuit testing by companies such as Raytheon, Motorola, Texas Instruments, etc.….

In 1995 under AME, the company’s growth rate was tripled each of the following years until 2001 when all US based telecom support was moved into China.

In 2005 under the name change of ETSNA – production for Military route clearance vehicles (land mine detection mobile units) products were developed for life saving systems inside the control cabs. Meanwhile, the semiconductor business that ETSNA supported was evolving into worldwide universal testing platforms for the Aerospace and IC industries.
