The Article:
An agile nature has enabled us to move our focus on sales and business towards the world’s technical manufacturing hubs as these markets change and grow with technology advances and market demand.
Incorporated in 1987, Antistat began working with Marconi on radiation-hard silicon on sapphire wafer projects for space, defence and satcom. The end of the Cold War left the company looking to new markets which came in the form of OEMs with the boom in personal computers, mobile phones and consumer electronics. The business then evolved to support blue-chip clients in the global electronics, EMS, automotive and medical arenas, alongside the initial defence electronics customer base.
A respected pan-European supplier of ESD production consumables.
To maintain the pace of growth, the company looked to European diversification. Cleanroom consumables were considered a good fit and sister company, Integrity Cleanroom, was formed. In 2016 Antistat incorporated in the US, basing ourselves in Texas having established key distributor agreements and our own warehouse. Long-established partnerships with good haulage and logistics providers allow Antistat to service European and US activity with back-office support from UK HQ.
The company is now enjoying 20 per cent year-on-year growth across the business. Antistat has always supplied solutions for satisfying just-in-time supply chains for advanced manufacturing businesses. We listen to what customers need and evolve processes and the supply chain to deliver products worldwide: right product, right place, right time.
