Menlo Park, CA - OK International, which over the past few years has acquired several leading producers of benchtop assembly systems, is consolidating those product lines under the OK International name, the company said today.

In a statement, the company said that the Metcal, Techcon Systems and Impell lines of workbench products would now be sold under the OK International brand.

"Existing customers can rest assured that it is business as usual during the move to the single OK International brand," said OK International vice president of marketing Howard Rupprecht in a statement. "They will be working with the same OK International representatives and can expect the same levels of product quality, technical support and customer service." 

The single brand approach will enable the company to meet expected supplier reduction initiatives. Furthermore, it permits customers and distributors to focus on key brands and source soldering, dispensing and fume extraction solutions from a single brand of products, OK said in a press release. 

Rupprecht said the company, having previously reorganized Metcal, Techcon and Impell as a single company, "is now accelerating the transition to have all products under one brand, in response to the unique needs of the rapidly evolving global electronics manufacturing sector."

OK International makes benchtop fluid dispensing systems and accessories, soldering/desoldering stations, array package rework equipment and fume extraction systems.
