Chad Industries Returns to the Automation Market as an Independent Supplier
Chad Industries Inc. (Orange, CA), a supplier of factory automation solutions for the semiconductor, electronics and life sciences industries, announced its return to the market as an independent solutions supplier. Chad had been acquired by Adept Technology Inc. in 2001 and continued operations as Adept Orange County. The employees at Orange County executed a buyout from Adept in March of 2004 and now operate under the original name, Chad Industries, as an independent company.
"We are delighted to continue providing industry solutions for semiconductor wafer handling cells (EFEMs), electronic odd-form and mechanical assembly solutions, and liquid handling solutions to Adept's customers in a seamless transition from Adept Orange County to Chad," said Scott Klimczak, president of Chad Industries.
"The divestiture of our Orange County division not only helps Adept refocus on our core components business, but the high-level solutions expertise at Chad gives us an excellent value-added channel to grow our standard product sales," said John Dulchinos, vice president of sales at Adept. "Having been the source of our platform design wins as Adept Orange County, we are happy that our customers will continue to get the same world-class solutions under the Chad name."
Chad Industries designs, manufactures and markets wafer handling solutions for the semiconductor industry, mechanical and odd-form component assembly solutions for the electronics industry, liquid handling solutions for the life sciences industry and other automated handling, assembly and test solutions.
Adept Technology designs, manufactures and markets robotic systems, motion control and machine vision technology for the telecommunications, electronics, semiconductor, automotive, lab automation and biomedical industries.
