Your partner in the development of industrial automation
Our application engineers and design teams, along with our franchised component manufacturers, can work with your team to mitigate the potential for future
component scarcity or obsolescence at the concept and prototype stage.
We maintain that support throughout your product’s entire life cycle – protecting you from counterfeit parts from cradle to grave and retaining a long-term supply of genuine parts through Astute’s own nitrogen storage.
With manufacturers facing growing cost pressures, Astute also offers you scalable solutions to asset tracking and collaboration systems to support all operational efficiencies.
Astute’s component expertise covers a vast range of industrial applications. Our franchise partners have all been specially selected for their ability to support diverse manufacturing and industrial sectors as well as their Mil-Grade and Hi-Rel components.
