Carpinteria, California - June 20, 2006 - NuSil Technology (www.nusil.com), a cutting-edge manufacturer of silicone-based materials for healthcare, aerospace, electronics and photonics, announces that it has opened its first technical support office in Asia.

T.Y. Lim, the application engineer heading the office in Penang, Malaysia, will support all of NuSil's customers, distributors and representatives in Asia.
According to a NuSil representative, Asia has always been a significant site for electronics manufacturing, and the company noticed recent growth in the Asian optoelectronics industry.

NuSil determined Asia as the logical next step in building a global infrastructure to serve its customers.
