Michael Frederickson, CEO, Insituware

Nordson ASYMTEK sees a successful outlook for 2020. We have always focused on being a full solutions provider - driving our technology to tailor products for the various applications we serve.

In 2019, we introduced many new dispensing and conformal coating products and are now leveraging the new capabilities with existing customers as well as new ones. Our strengths lie in the high-precision applications, and the technology trends in electronics manufacturing are all pointing in that direction.

Our new products reach the semiconductor packaging and PCB assembly segments, plus some will allow us to expand beyond. These products are successful in all regions of the world. Some of our customers are global enterprises but increasingly, local manufacturers see the value of our dispensing and conformal coating products.

The tariff disputes are certainly a concern for both our China- and USA-based business. These are external challenges that we cannot influence. However, our global footprint is enabling us to mitigate much of the impact.

The key point is that we have many ways in which we can drive our own success. That is what the Asymtek team is known for, that is what we have done with excellence for so many years. We are excited for the coming year!
