Share:
Mount Olive, NJ, June 26, 2006 - American Sensor Technologies (www.astsensors.com) and its subsidiary Macro Sensors (macrosensors.com) have appointed UG Electronics as distributor of their full line of sensing products throughout Finland. For American Sensor Technologies (AST), UG Electronics will represent the Company's product offering of pressure sensors and switches, while UG Electronics will sell Macro Sensors' line of displacement transducers, gauging probes, spring-loaded LVDTs and support instrumentation in Finland.
A well-known distributor in Finland, UG Electronics specializes in sensors, data acquisition and related equipment. The company's understanding of sensor technology and its use in different industry applications were major criteria in their selection by American Sensor Technologies and Macro Sensors.
"With the appointment of UG Electronics, we feel that we can serve the Finnish market even better," notes Ken Hartman, AST/Macro Sensors International Sales Manager. "UG Electronics will get the word out that AST and Macro Sensors specialize in custom special units in relatively small quantities that many other companies won't do. As the majority of our transducers are manufactured in-house, close to design and applications engineering, specials and standard excepts can be accomplished both fast and accurately."
